daleywhaley 's review for:
Don Quixote
by Miguel de Cervantes
Impossible to give any meaningful star rating to in all honesty. Its one of those books that feels important that you read.
I enjoyed this book in parts but between them I did get a bit tired of the antics as they were, at least in places, quite repetitive. Or, points were expressed for a long time. But the overall story was very satisfying and Sancho will always be a great character in my mind.
I would say it’s very readable for a 400 odd year old book, but translations seem to vary a lot. The Motteux translation that I read for the first 200 pages was very difficult and I finished up with the Grossman which was much better.
