I thought it was one of the most perfectly crafted novels I have ever read. It's origins are interesting- Flaubert wrote it after being challenged by a friend, who accused him of being too steeped in Romanticism to write a realistic story. Madame Bovary is considered to be one of the finest examples of the realistic genre ever. (It was banned for a time, and he was brought up on obscenity charges as well).
I got an A on my college paper as well, GC.
