corruptedminds 's review for:

Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes
2.0

An incredibly slow book. Not worth reading. Interesting idea, interesting characters, fascinating that it was written 400 years ago. Some amusing anecdotes, but an incredible amount of unnecessary dialogue and filler. A modern rewrite with careful editing would be amazing.
This book took me 10x longer to read than any other book I've ever attempted, and has put me off 'classics' for a time.
'Part 2' is significantly better than the first half of the book. I read the 'Edith Grossman' translation.
