Title: Neither Ironic nor Meaningful, Simply Dated
Review: Call me a philistine, but "Candide" did more to confuse than enlighten me. Yes, I know the story is deliberately far fetched, almost surreal, but it still failed to make an impact even when considering the work in this context. Absurdity can only travel so far.My sad but brief review is that "Candide" is less meaningful today that it was at the time of its writing. No, I have not found the meaning of life but nor has Voltaire.
Is the review positive or negative?
