A review by monazaneefer
The Overcoat by Nikolai Gogol

1.0



It's not one-star because it's poor, it's one-star because I don't get the hype. I guess it's not my kind of read. It does feel like Russian literature in a gist but I don't get why it's so iconic. Or maybe I prefer reading about Russian literature than actually reading Russian literature.

However, when reading the first 2 pages, I realised that every paragraph furthered your understanding of the character which was pretty cool but once I switched to an audio narration, I lost track of that so there's that.
