He's like Candid but doesn't make you want to gauge your eyes out just to avoid reading the book, but it's due in you philosophy class and you can't afford to fail.

    What's the issue with reading Candid?

    It’s not a long book but it is for me very frustrating to read.

    It’s about an optimist who keeps dismissing the shitty things happening to/around because it’ll all work out.

    I just did not enjoy reading it at all.

    I know the book as I'm from the same country, so I wondered if there was some specific issue from the English side. It's a satire of Leibniz philosophy and religion, so I think it's its purpose to make you frustrated with the character.
