Despite this book’s extremely high reputation as literally one of the best Russian novels of all time, and one of the best books of the 1900s, I just… didn’t like it. After reading that Bulgakov supposedly destroyed and re-wrote the entire book multiple times, I’m not at all surprised. It feels disorganized, but the generic plotline does come through. Coming into this book blind, it was certainly an interesting read, but not one I enjoyed or would recommend. Clearly, mine is an unpopular opinion shrugs.
