ryakimisreading 's review for:
The Master and Margarita
by Mikhail Bulgakov
what an adventure! it's definitely a league of it's own. I enjoyed the ride, all the bumps and highs until the very end. I must say I did enjoy analyzing it more and looking up references each chapter. I think literature is so beautiful when used this way. it's mikhail's way of getting his story out in the world in disguise. I love his own twist in bringing some bible retelling to join his story. i 100% think this would have been a bomb ass tv show if it was ever made into one.
why 4 stars:
i was super intrigued by the story and super loved the concept but it lacked the sting sadly. I needed more thrill¿ cause this is just a bunch of wild chase and mischievous actions without consequences. this would have been the best book ever if mikhail also didn't put an effort too much on referencing what's happening during his times. you can evidently see what he's trying so hard to conceal. i guess if it was shorter it's easily a 5 stars for me. i just didn't see the purpose of some events on some characters just for the sake of punishing them. there's just some long dreading chapters that really didn't tie up until the end. but i like the build up but lots of unnecessary characters!
