Madame Bovary is a beatufully written satire on bourgeois society. Flaubert puts humor throughout the book through his characters. Each action of the characters has a hint of fakery that is very characterist of Bourgeois society. The book was not written as a guideline of how to live one's life, but a story of the real problems that the people during that time confronted. I would recommend it to anyone that wants to read one of the most well written and thoughtout books.

An exquisitely written book about Madame Bovary's search for love, and all of the pain and hardships as a result of that search. The book is eloquently written and wonderfully entertaining- making Madame Bovary's character human and real.

I thought the book was very well written. But after reading it several times I still had some trouble understanding it. If anyone could e-mail me, helping me to understand parts of it better, that would be wonderful!!! Please write back soon!

As above. The book was very beneficial whilst writting essays

I connot say that I recomend this book, to anyone. It is a horrible display of character. Hasn't anyone heard of the ten commandments in this world? First of all thou shalt not covet. Don't be wanting something you can't have! Unlike Madame Bovary if you are living in a situation you don't like you learn to like it. Second, thou shalt not commit adultrey. Oh, wait that is exactly what she did. A couple of times. This book is ugly, and it shouldn't be read by those who are trying to lead a christian life.
