Finally finished this for a book of a month. It took me 2 months.
Though I personally did not like it, I can see why people do like it and why they may recommend or suggest it. The book feels like it was written with love and lots of effort. For me, it was hard to follow and I did not enjoy it even though the confusion is one of the reasons why it's popular. Reading it made me feel overstimulated since there was so much going on with the author's style and I already am disordered when it comes to processing and languages anyways. So, this book wasn't for me. That's okay. :,)
Something I loved was the chaos and of course, I loved the cat. I loved the surrealism and the magic. It was interesting to see the devil play with Russia and nobody believing Ivan. While reading this, I found myself in the habit of imagining it as an opera aha: Killing, betrayal, insanity, kind of romance. Nothing about it is boring or bland. So give it a time if you are a good reader or know how to use tools to help you.
