So, so, so hilarious! It's only for a certain sort of person. If you don't understand Voltaire, and/or don't appreciate satire, sarcasm, and history, you won't enjoy this. But for those of us who get it, it's a riot. This novel had me in stitches. Word of warning though, if you speak French, find a French version and read it in French; things are lost in translation. Also, if you're not a big period buff for the setting of Candide, you're going to want to find a version with footnotes and explanations or you'll miss a lot.
