didn't like itit was okliked itloved itit was amazing
 This is a great read for anyone interested about the history of retail and the arrivals of shopping malls in our lives. Apart from that, the story of Denise is a good wake-up call and even though Zola sticked to his style, the story ends in a more positive note than usual.

 Ben Zola, c'est loin d'être aussi méchant qu'on le prétend. La description du Paris fin XIXe est plaisante. L'écriture, fluide et précise rend la lecture distrayante

 Zola...in a class of his own..but 'Nana' was a better read..may be because the character was sketched so perfectly..
