A general comment regarding the book thus far: It is saturated in satire. Each character seems to represent all things Voltaire seems to disagree with in an exaggerated format. I believe Voltaire has many things to comment on regarding life and politics, and his response simply involves making the opposing view seem ridiculous (ex. Pangloss' cliches and the fact the he studies "metaphysico-theologo-cosmolo-nigologyph" hah!)
I commented on Justin Fobel's blog.
