Well written, though at times verbose. Very interesting plotline. Depicts French life in the 1800s perfectly. Sad, poignant, thought-provoking. I would read the other books in the series. Pauvre étudiant, pauvre père Goriot.

Funny and moving and a fun look into Parisian life in the 1830s, I really enjoyed reading this. Also after reading 19th century literature I always want to speak in hyperboles about how I will just die from heartbreak if you don't reply to my letter etc etc
