redbluemoon's review against another edition
4.0
Update 30/5/19
This book is just so sad it hurts.
Second read: Nothing more to say except: I want Cibot to diiiiiiiiiiiie!
I was so annoyed by this book, not because it is not good, but because most of the characters - all of them except three - depict corruption, greed. They want to get money by all means, even if they have to strip someone they neither know nor understand.
I was so infuriated while I read!! Pons and Schmucke are children, naive and fond of each other. Some scenes really moved me, and wanted to help them so much!
I don't tend to love Balzac's books, but he clearly has a talent to show human condition, the way humans can be wolves for each other. This book was really depressing to me; I so wanted the good side to win!
