Manon Lescaut by Abbe Prevost


Never mind that the prose is boring, I just kept telling myself maybe if I knew how to read French I would appreciate the prose. The story, however, is a whole different kind of ... blah. 

If Monsieur Prevost's goal is to annoy people (by coming up with this story) then bravo! You did a great job! I love how fictional characters can incite so much emotions and passion from a reader but you, sir ... you take the cake. 

Ugh!
