Advantages: none

Disadvantages: boring, everything

One of the most boring books I have ever read.
I wanted to read this book at first because I had heard brilliant reviews. When I started I had to put it down and then picked it up a week later.
It's basically about Madame Bovary's affairs and that is it.
Madame Bovary wants fun as she is married to a boring doctor so she has sffairs with other men. Flaubert doesn't write very well. He has absolutely no imagination and neither do any of his characters.
If you really want to know what happens I suggest you watch the BBC's dramatisation of it which was not good, as it was laced with sex scenes.
Nothing ever happens and I have no idea why it made the classical literature list.
