3.5

Read “Don Quixote” by Cervantes for my Spanish Classics TBR. I had to give it 3.5 stars. I wanted to like it more than I actually did. I listened to the audiobook on Hoopla, 36 hours long, to make it more doable to get through in a reasonable amount of time. Maybe I would've gotten more out of it if I read it physically and took my time with it. I found myself half listening to it and then not knowing what was really going on with the plot, which was the main issue.

An incredible message for those who are willing to analyze the text and recognize the satire. Don Quixote quickly became one of my favorites.
