suchasuckerforbooks's review
Первая треть истории чем-то напоминает "Мартин Иден". Знаю, что и в этой книге должен быть трагический конец . Я только хотела узнать, как именно все сложится в итоге, но мне в процессе стало настолько скучно, даже с аудиокнигой, что я решила, что оно того не стоит.

The last page was the only part that was enjoyable. Aside from that all the characters are deeply annoying and the women are SO BLUNT, you could resume them in one singular adjective. The paragraphs feel like they don't match at all and I felt lost throughout the entire thing. Would not recommend.

i enjoyed this. i dont understand why ppl are complaining of it being wordy... its almost not wordy enough for me..
the first time ive heard of stendhal's the red and the black was from neitzsche, i expected the not only to be ''wordy'' but also plotless and philosophical.
at the begining i was imbivalent as to how i felt about julien, he wasnt the most likeable person which is understandable considering his upbringing, i loved reading about the relationship between him and madame de renal. like most ppl i found the second book more complelling its in the second book that you really see julien changing, giving in, you see more and more clearly the self hatred behind all that idealism, he is complexe irrational he strives and he loves, he is pained and he causes pain.
in the last part where is going to get excuted his meditations on god and religion are beautiful

This was satire and you can't convince me otherwise.
