I give Pushkin's writing a 5, but sometimes the translation felt a bit goofy and the compilation itself had a lot of back to back very short unfinished stories and it made me lose interest partway through the book. But this was my first reading of Pushkin and I was blown away by his narrative style. I definitely want to read more by him.
