![Thérèse Raquin | [Emile Zola]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41zE-nJbuiL._SL175_.jpg)
"Great Narration--Crazy Story!"
What did you love best about Thérèse Raquin?I loved the way Zola delves deeply into the psychology of his characters and not just the two main characters, but others as well.
What did you like best about this story?It is dark, brooding and cynical, but not overbearingly so. I found I enjoyed it as a horror story and as a commentary on French society of the nineteenth century--it works wonderfully as one or the other or both!
What about Kate Winslet’s performance did you like?To be honest I bought the book for her narration--I was not disappointed! Her voice and inflection are incredible and very easy to follow. She reads with emotion but not obnoxiously--her narration is subtle and she is also wonderful with the French names and places in the story.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?It was disturbing and dark--but in a good way. It makes you think about the way human minds work with the added benefit of seeing how the nineteenth century's view of moral choices is portrayed in the book and how that plays out in the plot.
