Candide by Voltaire

By StoneWrites2004

Finally got around to this. It’s a pretty quick read, and somehow it’s also kind of charming. V definitely hammers the main idea home to the point where it starts feeling a little repetitive, but I still liked the way the characters keep getting shuffled around into the plot—it’s goofy fun. I feel like it lands the main message better than Notes from Underground, especially since it was written so long ago. And yeah, that ending people talk about is awesome and I’m not sure it’s wrong. It still feels relevant now, too. I’d definitely recommend it if you want something lighter between heavier reads.
