Die begeisterte Romanleserin Emma Bovary hat den Kopf voller romantischer Träume. Wie langweilig muß ihr dagegen ihr Leben als Frau eines Arztes in einer Provinzstadt erscheinen! Ihr Mann Charles versteht ihre Wünsche und Nöte nicht. So sucht die leidenschaftliche junge Frau ihr Glück in fremden Armen – und wird bitter enttäuscht.

Of course, I had long heard of this book and knew that it was supposed to be a racey example of classic literature. I had also heard that racey in those days was nothing like racey nowadays. Mme. Bovary was truly quite a woman, nothing made her happy. Yes, she was an adulterous in the worst sense, but more than that, no man or any kind of person court have satisfied her, and sexuality had nothing to do with it. I found it a very, very, sad book.

This book is fair. Not more.

Or rather, it contains a lot of great information and thought-worthy elements, but given Brand's a) ADHD way of acting out - which I think works well in condensed textual form, or while performing stand-up - and b) how the book should have been much better edited, it's a bit of a failure.

Brand obviously caters to Noam Chomsky - whom I love - and Bill Hicks - whom I also love - but can't pull off what they brought to the table. I mean, his thoughts are interesting but not much more. I hope this book will work as a kind of trampoline for people who will reach Chomsky and Hicks because of it.
