This book did not appeal to me in the least. I think that Madame Bovary, with all its sexual incantations and rudeness is far more interesting. this book is sentimental and does little to further my education
i regret reading this book, and had I not been confident of forgetting most of its content within a few days, i would regret it bitterly.
thankyou for reading

This book is great, easy to understand by the average person, the plot moves along at a good pace and the ending is very good. You need to read this book…and keep me updated!

Anyone gets the feeling that we are at this very moment living inside this book? The American Empire at its peak and ripest, filled with decadance and cynicism (I don’t condemn it, just the truth as I see it), led by a philandering leader and run by self-satisfied, culturally-enlightened yuppies. Our corporate conventions are their society salons, only with better technology and lamer style. People are just easing back from the Big Revolution (1968 or 1789) when another one rumbles down the hill – with a string of smarties running behind to profit from it.
Just a thought that pops into my head. But the more you think, the more it gives you the creeps …

Flaubert’s style is most fascinating. The way he brings you from one end of Paris to the other, through multiple conflicting relationships, among what else, in a page in a half. His succinct procession of human thought traverses mountains of emotions. L’Education sentimentale would make an incredible screenplay. The politics and romance represented with both innocent and self-serving intentions show bitterly honest failure and the signifigance of decisions. Dessardier shines as a representitive of the poor class and is the novel’s only true hero. But who can forget Vatnaz’s call for women’s rights? Read it!
