A solid 3.5 stars really – it's quite funny and in some places had me in fits of giggles, but it probably doesn't need to be 1000 pages long either!

No notes. I’m too sad to conjure a deserving review for Don Quixote.

Obviously, the first book of books. The only reason I didn't rate it a 5 star is because I'm glad that we've come a long way in writing style. I think it would be better to listen to.

What struck me most about this book is how modern it is. With a couple of tweaks it could be released today as a searing indictment against whatever form of lowbrow entertainment one wishes to belittle. Does get a bit repetitive at times but I think Cervantes’ general cattiness makes it enjoyable nonetheless.

This was a decent rendition of Don Quixote de La Mancha. It was fun to read with the illustrations.

Me duró un año en leerlo, pero lo logré. Lo tanto que me he reído durante este libro. Leer Don Quixote es algo que cada uno debe hacer por lo menos una vez en la vida.
