Thank you soo much for the two books, it was very generous of you, have a lovely Xmas and a great new year :)
7 June 16 - I work for a publishing company that produces magazines. One of my (and my editors) pet hates is long paragraphs, it just makes you not want to read something, so this book lost points immediately, some if the paragraphs are two or three pages long!!
The first part was not too bad, there were some adventures that had me smiling even, but they were combined with long paragraphs of conversation that I just struggled with. the second part seemed to have less adventures and more conversations if that's possible. Not really my sort of book I'm afraid.

Now I must admit that I was not expecting too much before starting this but was very pleasantly surprised as I found myself on more than one occasion in tears of laughter. Likewise I enjoyed many of the conversations between Don Quixote and Sancho. I ended up almost feeling rather sorry for Don Quixote in his madness as he strived to recreate a world that never really existed. In particular I felt sorry by how he was treated by the Duke and Duchess and was uncertain whether they were merely cruel or as barmy as our two heroes. However, I also found the novel overly long and at times fairly repetitive, equally as one of my fellow reviewers have stated I hated the fact that some of the paragraphs were several pages long. Although I did enjoy it, it was a plod rather than a sprint through it. I am glad that I've read it but it is highly unlikely that I will bother to revisit it.
Going out as a BookMooch. Enjoy!
