Bonkers and crazy

Laughed at this many, many times. What a life the hero has in this huge book that only took Stendhal 50-odd days to write. Overlook silly plot twists and general silliness and you'll uncover a work of comic and satirical genius.

Such a great story and the reader is excellent

This is one of my favourite books, and I am delighted to find the reader so skilled at bringing out Stendahl's wonderful characterisation and subtle humour. What a pleasure!
