"Не будешь ли ты так добр подумать над вопросом: что бы делало твое добро, если бы не существовало зла, и как бы выглядела земля, если бы с нее исчезли тени? Ведь тени получаются от предметов и людей. Вот тень от моей шпаги. Но бывают тени от деревьев и от живых существ. Не хочешь ли ты ободрать весь земной шар, снеся с него прочь все деревья и все живое из-за твоей фантазии наслаждаться голым светом? Ты глуп."

Love the cover of the book. The characters were strange. The writing style was very unusual and not one I enjoyed reading. There are two parts to this story, but there are actually three different stories going on. It was very confusing and jumped around. I actually am still not sure what I just read. I would not read this again, nor would I recommend it.

Maybe it is a great piece of literature, but it wasn't one I enjoyed.

ეს ის შემთხვევაა, როცა ვარსკვლავები და მათი რაოდენობა საერთოდ არაფერ შუაშია...

[9.5/10] WOW that was so fun and chaotic!! Definitely the fastest paced and funniest Russian novel I've read. Just Satan and his pals having a romp through Moscow, pulling pranks on people and having a grand old time. I think more books should have a giant black tom cat named Behemoth who has a gun. Speaks for itself. Good fun!
