Reader Reviews:
The Underbelly (6/9 people found this helpful)
I am an unashamed devotee of Zola, and find very little to fault in any of his novels. This is especially true of the more recent translations which are much easier to read than those by Vizetelly, admittedly written over a hundred years ago. Zola's novels are much more "earthy" and "real" than those by Dickens and Thackery for example, and being much, much shorter and sharper make them, in my opinion, superior pieces of literature. As this is the newest release of a modern translation, as it were, it can receive 5 stars on behalf of all the other Zola works out there.
