A review by nicnackerz
The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov

challenging funny mysterious medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.5

I think I would have enjoyed this more... 
  • If I was in a different headspace (too much stress in my life to enjoy an absurdist book - but also feeling the need to finish it bc something something reading challenge?). 
  • If I weren't trying to hybrid the printed version, the digital version, and the paper version.... and all these weren't different translations
  • If I were able to focus on it more (see above. Stress.)
  • If I had more background in Soviet Era politics / more biblical literacy.
