My favourite part was when Ivan Ilyich said 'its Ivan time' and Ivaned all over the place. 

It was a good read. I think a little repetitive at time, but it's Russian lit. I found that it was at its best right at the beginning, before we transition into Ivan's perspective, and right at the end, when the message presents itself most clearly. Live laugh love Gerasim, as well. He was a real one.
