Whitaker's Reviews > Le Grand Meaulnes

** spoiler alert ** Arrrrggggghhhh ! Mais quelle connerie ! C’est trop quoi d’avoir un ami comme Augustin Meaulnes. Même si le lecture me plaisait beaucoup, même si j’ai bien apprecié la côté aventure romanesque et onirique de ce livre, Augustin Meaulnes est un con. Il a fait souffir tant de gens qui l’a vraiment aimé. Est-ce que c’est ça, son idée d’amour et d’amitié ? Arrrrggggghhhh !

Honestly, just what is it with French romantic writers? In The Three Musketeers, after being separated for months from his beloved, when does d’Artagnan finally find her? Just after she’s been poisoned by d’Artagnan’s enemy, Milady, and is dying. And in this book, after all that trouble he goes to looking for his one true love, he abandons her to help her stupid brother look for his fiancée because of some stupid promise he made as a kid. And when does he return? That’s not romantic, that’s just sick. But okay, I liked the rest of the story even if the ending made me go grrrrrr.
