"For heaven's sake don't insult the dog... The whole horror of the situation is that he now has a human heart, not a dog's heart. And about the rottenest heart in all creation!"

Да и что такое воля? Так, дым, мираж, фикция… Бред этих злосчастных демократов…

Простите, профессор, не пса, а когда он уже был человеком. Вот в чём дело.
– То-есть он говорил? – спросил Филипп Филиппович, – это ещё не значит быть человеком. Впрочем, это не важно.

Мне понравилось что смысл и сама ситуация неоднозначны. Понятны, но не рассказываются в лоб. 

Повествование смешанное,– то первое лицо (Шарика), то записи Борменталя, то третье лицо. Мне показалось, что вышло скомкано.

Необычно, интересно. Но не в любимые.

came for the weirdness, stayed for the political satire! witty and wonderful quick read! loved the jabs at bolshevism but i don’t think sharik deserved all that, so stars off for the animal abuse
