I just read Madame Bovary for the first time and really liked it. The story is about Emma Bovary who marries young and despises her husband. This leads to her having a couple affairs while her husband is still in love with her. Overall nothing seems to make Emma happy and at times she could be very irritating. The first half of the book was pretty slow going for me but the second half moved alot faster. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys classics. Overall the story may have been slow but it was def. worth the read in my opinion.
