I think I would have actually preferred an abridged version. There were funny parts but I could have done without a lot of it.
My copy of Don Quixote was gifted to me by my wonderful high school Spanish teacher, Mrs. Coen. She and I shared a close affinity, and she was amused by my attempts to affect an accurate accent in class. A few years later, she was diagnosed with cancer and passed within a few months.
Besides my personal attachment to the book, I should also say that this is a wonderful, charming, and very silly epic.

This was a challenging read for me. I grew up with stories of Don Quixote but had never read the tale. It was more of an emotional journey than I thought it would be
Slow going with 4 1/2 page long paragraphs. But quite silly and enjoyable.
This is actually two books. The first is hilarious at times but very long-winded. The second, published 10 years later, is mostly just long-winded.
This book is hilarious. I had no idea what to expect when I started this book, but it definitely wasn’t that I would be laughing out loud.
One of the funniest books I've ever read and it's over 400 years old. Don Quixote is a Knight in a time when knights were no longer around. After reading all the stories on knights (and remembering as if they were histories) he take up the mantle of knight-errantry. except he's a wee bit mad. He plays the classic comedic straight man when all those around him see him as the buffoon he really is. His squire, Sancho Panza, straddles the line between sanity and madness. They have many a ridiculous adventure. It was a bit tough to read, what with all that melodramatic speaches and all, but it was really well written.
Driven mad by hearing too many chivalric episodes - I couldn't get through this audiobook!
Lo termine hace casi un mes y me olvidé de ponerlo como terminado ajaja! Un librazo, un clásico que tenía como pendiente desde hace tiempo. Me encantaron las historias disparatadas de estos dos grandes personajes de Don Quijote y Sancho Panza.
Que hermosa locura carga nuestro querido Don Quijote, feliz de haber conocido sus idas y vueltas.

Leer (y escuchar simultáneamente) este libro fue toda una aventura. Me encariñé muchísimo con los personajes y ahora me da pena dejarlos, pero definitivamente esta no será mi última lectura. Es un libro tan ancho que merece muchísimas lecturas más, para apreciar todos aquellos aspectos que se me pasaron por alto, leyendo a las apuradas, en cualquier momento, a veces solamente escuchando cuando estaba muy agotada pero quería seguir enterándome de las aventuras de este gran caballero. Por el momento les digo hasta pronto a Don Quijote y a mi querido Sancho. Definitivamente nos volveremos a encontrar.
