Bel Ami Audiobook

" If you ever build a time machine and decide to go to 19th century France and become a money-grubbing douchebag, this is your guide!! "

" Why haven't I read any novels of de Maupassant? This was great...as good as his famous short stories. "

" I tried to read this one in French and I'm a little unskilled for that. Regardless, I followed the plot fairly well. The problem was, I just wasn't that into it; I gave up about 1 third of the way through. "

" I read this as research for my novel My Phantom: The Memoir of Christine Daaé. I needed to get a feel for the time and place -- 1880 Paris -- and the fiction of Guy de Maupassant was a wonderful way to start. "

" Classics May, 2010. Very French story from the author of the short story "The Diamond Necklace." "

" Started reading the project gutenberg version, and realised (after reading far too much) that the translation leaves a whole lot to be desired. Will now start with this version, which seems much more promising. "

" Another book that gives me that love/hate relationship. "

" I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. It seemed to start in a basic, elementary language, but as the plot became more intense, the writing became more complex. The story drew me in, even as I found George to be a despicable character. "

" very slow start...but was interesting how it all ended up. "

" It was a little difficult to read being that it was based in the 1800s and it based in France. All in all was a good read and will definitely read it again. "

" George Duroy... El villano mas bueno. Es primera vez q ganan los malos, sin duda... perturbador "

" it feels remarkably contemporary. A quick, easy read about a real jerk! "
