3.0 out of 5 stars Classic but not gripping!, May 30 2006
By Frank Rayal (Toronto, ON Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Penguin Classics Old Goriot (Paperback)
Balzac takes up the topics of love and money in this novel and successfully provides detailed insights into 19th century Parisian society. It is a very neat story, yet, I found that my interest level ebbed and flowed through the story and, therefore, the three stars rating.

5.0 out of 5 stars AWAESOME!, Jul 31 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Penguin Classics Old Goriot (Paperback)
This was my first Balzac novel and it definitely got me hooked on the Comedie Humaine!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Classic, Feb 21 2003
This review is from: Penguin Classics Old Goriot (Paperback)
Superb. My first try at Balzac and I'll definitely be reading more. He makes you want to reach into the book and strangle those two horrible daughters.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the one...
There's a good reason that this is commonly used as an introduction to Balzac: it's one of his best and most focused works (not that I've read them all, of course...). Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Cynical and touching
Of course there is a paradox, but Balzac manages to make this story touching while being extremely cynical about his characters. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Sometimes a chore, often a joy
This was a book that I had to study for my course, and so I approached it with suspicion. However, the characters are fabulously sculpted and the book grabs your attention. Read more
