(takie bardziej 4,5*)
Tak mi się podoba styl pisania Gogola, postacie wydają się takie żywe i to w tej książce działa cuda. Może nie ma jakieś niesamowitej fabuły, ale opisy ludzi - materializmu, wyzysku, szukania rozrywki zamiast rozwiązań problemów, cała panorama dalej jest jak najbardziej aktualna. Podsumowanie tego jak od lat działa społeczeństwo (imo nic tylko się załamać)

Me voló la cabeza todo el significado de la obra. Al leerlo, pensé que iba a ser pesado y que no iba a entender nada pero me llegó a atrapar por la interrogante de lo que va a hacer el protagonista con las almas muertas. Aunque muchas descripciones me sacaban y perdían de la historia creo que tendría que volverla a leer para que llegue a entrar a mis libros favoritos ┐(シ)┌.
