A review by blumoonie
The Overcoat by Nikolai Gogol

dark fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

equal parts comedy, tragedy and pointed anti-government sentiment, this classic left me pleasantly surprised at how entertaining it was. I picked up this book to better understand the character from Bungou Stray Dogs who was named after Gogol, and put it down feeling truly enlightened.
