    <body><![CDATA[Probably more like 4.5 stars, but I'll round up.  It's kind of like Under the Volcano (complete with brutal ending) if that fine novel was one long, disjointed monologue and the Consul's alcoholism was played for laughs instead of drama.  Granted it is an uncomfortable kind of comedy, where you feel...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/30919531">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[OK, I can't speak for the English translation (the language would be very very difficult to capture in translation) but the Russian original is ecstatic and delirious and hellish. The narrator, Venia, an alcoholic, is trying to get from Moscow to Petushki to see his beloved. Mayhem and the DTs and f...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3411098">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm going to think about this one a bit, then it might get another star. But the language is so intense and great that I know it's missing something in translation, so maybe I'll have to get really good at Russian, think about this one a bit, and only then give it another star. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Unfortunately had to return this to the library before I could finish it.  I'd like to get back to it - will probably try to get on the wait list (there's a wait list for it at NYPL!) when I'm done with school.  If you like Russian literature you should get on the train.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I cannot believe I made it all the way to the very last train station!  I am so excited I must use exclamation marks!!  I blame this book for alcoholism and might say Vodka was better while reading but not after Moscow to the End of the Line!]]></body>
