Very helpful pre-read for subject, style, writer, etc., you may not be familiar with. This volume was very good! I highly recommend Cliffs Notes.

Son had a English essay to write on this book; Notes came in handy for such a task; not many left these days.

It is what I expected.

candide is very good work of voltiar

How in the world does someone die and come back to life over and over again? Too many static characters. Readers need change. C'mon homey, find another woman!!!
