But what can be done, the one who loves must share the fate of the one he loves.The last few chapters were so exceptionally beautiful, I was left speechless. Godd I love imagery about the moon and the stars, and the wrap up to Pontius was so touching and poetic and beautiful. And the two title characters, the Master and Margarita, I loved them so much!! All of the characters were wonderful--Woland was in particular a show stealer--but Margarita was just perfect.
I got irritated after a while of the demons' antics over and over, becoming super anxious to get to the second half of the story, and so looking back I definitely didn't absorb the fun of it. On a re-read that's what I would like to focus on more, taking the story as it comes. Oh my god I love those last few chapters. The complete change in Korovyev and Behemoth?? I don't know why everyone obsesses over the ball scene so much when the flight scene is right there and so much grander. Like come on it's so pretty,,, I love this novel. I need to see some kind of animated adaptation happen within my lifetime, that would be magical :(
Listen and take pleasure in what you were not given in life--quiet. Look, there up ahead is your eternal home . . . You will fall asleep with your grimy eternal cap on your head, you will fall asleep with a smile on your lips. Sleep will strengthen you, you will begin to reason wisely. And you will never be able to chase me away. I will guard your sleep.my god. i'm thankful to have read this.

Goodreads, your website sux. Every time I tried to write this FUCKING review you tell me "I've hit a bad spot" Fuck you. And I just lost my sense of smell and with the repeated review being STOLEN, my will to live. I'm sure you're happy now, Behemoth. Sincerely, a cranky cat

[Ginsburg translation]
I enjoyed the story a lot but had trouble understanding what exactly was happening at times. I think this might be the fault of the translation I chose.
I will reread Burgin's & O'Conner's translation sometime later this year

Wonderfully strange and funny. A less-often cited Best Book of the 20th Century but more entertaining than virtually any other book I've read with that distinction.
