iagonizing 's review for:
Dead Souls
by Nikolai Gogol
It's weird, because there were several witty parts that had me actually laughing out loud in public transport, but most of it was a draaaaaaaaaaaag. There isn't much plot at all. The main character going on visit after visit of different aristocratic stereotypes. Then he gets caught in his scam, moves to a different town, and goes on visit after visit of different aristocratic stereotypes again. Pretty tiring when the whole thing is 450 pages long. Oh, and the book was never finished, so there was supposed to be more of it and it's just left hanging mid-sentence. The way that it is written is quite interesting, with a narrator that goes off on tangents and addresses the reader. But besides that it's not really something I enjoyed much.
