Some of the poetry was beautifully written but I was just over how love sick the male character was.

"In fancies or in dreams, comfort can bless
The lovelorn in their lonely wretchedness."

I haven't seen such beautiful writing in a long time and it nearly had me wailing. The story as expected was tragic and devestating. If I had the option to annotate every line believe me I would.

majnun is fucking dramatic it’s comical and so juicy (until it got too mystical or whatever). i didn’t finished though bc i didn’t need to for class.

Sunku skaityti. Dėl to, kad eiliuota, dėl to, kad ilga, dėl to, kad lėta, dėl to, turbūt... Kad rašyta prieš 800 metų. Tai nėra šiuolaikiška knyga.

Bet ji tikrai įdomi. Tikrai. Visgi rašyta vidurio rytuose! Su visais jų vardais, vietomis bei mitais!

Rekomenduoju, jei mėgsti eiliuotus epus.
Nerekomenduoju, jei norėtum Game of Thrones.
