[meconio_ibiza]

his book reveals the virtues of the man, although he was crazy, he fought for his fame, pride and help to those in need and with each blow he got up and continued fighting for his ideal... a great message

[janethansen]

It is mind blowing to think of when it was written and who Cervantes' contemporaries were.

Really good review, makes Don Quixote into a book that I wanted to read but was slightly intimidated by to a must-read.

[Favorite]

Thanks for the great review! I just read Don Quixote a few weeks ago and I absolutely loved it! It's now one of my all time favorites!

[squiddies]

Totally agree, this is the greatest novel ever written. Just pure genius

[darrenclayden]

So glad to see you do a DQ review one of my all time favourite books. It really was so many years ahead of it's time. Absolutely phenomenal book :)

All this experimental and post modern stuff that many consider ground breaking but Cervantes did it all almost 500 years back. And that too sitting mostly in a prison cell with supposedly one arm, tells you that all creativity needs is the mind and no external stimulant.

I'm reading this book now, in the portuguese version because I'm Brazilian and i think how you. This book is perfect, funny, epic... the little's history how "the naughty curious" is awesome. The form how you expressed your facination is very good.

Oooomph this one is on my list! Also your initial thought of how Quixote is pronounced made me fall out 😂😂😂

I finished it a couple of days ago and cried. I liked your thoughts but I did not pick up that sadism theme at all. Who was really taking advantage of who? It’s not that clear cut and I don’t believe things were ever taken too far. I was dreaming with Don Quixote for the entire book, and cried when the dream ended. ❤

I started reading Don Quixote many years ago and loved it, but it was a bit too big of a project for my younger self. I still have the book though, and will definitely read the whole thing one day. The hilarity of it is not appreciated enough, and I suspect your very right about everything else as well ^^

[readwithlorikate]

I wasn’t sure whether to read this one but I think you’ve convinced me.

[wesleymercer]

I am about to read DQ for the first time. I am relieved that this review is positive. I'm excited

[FrankOdonnell-ejhd]

Oh wow! Guess there's a good reason it's supposedly the second best selling book in history. Had a copy once but never got around to reading it but will definitely do now especially since my bookstore has a really nice Penguin clothbound edition out now.

[THFLCNx]

I can tell you really liked this one because you didn't hurl it over your shoulder. 😂 I really need to read Don Quixote.

[toweringtbr]

I just finished this and really enjoyed it. Way funnier than I thought it would be!

[martasgreatlibrary]

don quijote is probably the book that intimidates me the most i feel like if i read it and not like it i will never be able to exit my house again

[NTNG]

I wasn't prepared for how funny the first book was

[Thecatladybooknook_PennyD]

Adding to my list. I love hearing the history behind it.

Is there a translation that's better than others?

Reading Don Quixote in Spanish is a precious thing, translations do not do justice to its majesty
