So okay, I admit. I am not the sharpest tool in the shed nor the brightest color in the crayon box but God help me that was hard to read. Oh wait a minute, it was even harder to understand.
Classic classic! The Master and Margarita! Got it, should read it. It was assigned for May in our reading group on Goodreads. Fell for it and read the thing. While doing this I had to go back, brush up on Faust and other literary classics to begin to grasp the story.
I am glad I read it. Some people found it funny and humorous in my group. More power to them. I found it morose and dark. To each their own. Most subjects dealing with the Devil leave me disgusted. And in this book, his persona was all over the place.
It would be impossible to give you an account of the story without using several pages of description. Suffice it to say that many posts on the net describe the book in detail, blow by blow. There are even Cliff notes on it. Russian humor escaped me as well as Russian social norms.
I liked it well enough but not for another go around. I would never pick it up again unless for a class. 🙂
*** Yes, I own it.
