I really, really liked this book. The story of Emma made me laugh, made me sad and, in the end, leaved me with an empty space. The complete review will be on my blog, in the not so far future.

Me gustó mucho, mucho este libro. La historia de Emma me hizo reír, me entristeció, y, al final, me dejó con un espacio vacío. Cuando suba la reseña a mi blog editaré esta entrada, con el link.

I read this (English translation) to prepare for my "Rise of the Novel" class. My version includes a lengthy introduction by Raymond MacKenzie, which helped me understand the context.

justice for Charles :( i also feel bad for Madame Bovary and how her wishes were never fulfilled but the life lesson is to learn to be satisfied with what you have. dull at times with descriptions but overall a good read
