Voltaire masterfully criticizes his 18th century milieu through mostly subtle, indirect commentary, although I learned from my book's endnotes that he also fictionalized his real-life enemies and then made them the butt of not-so-subtle jokes in the book. His tone is gentle, and his criticism has to be intuited from the actions and statements of his characters. As I read Candide, I was reminded of The Sot-Weed Factor and A Confederacy of Dunces. If you enjoyed the bumbling anti-heroes of those books, you will enjoy this book as well. ( )
