What Members Thought
Woo hoo! I finished! This was a very long tale with tales within tales within tales and the border between reality and imagination was rather nonexistent, lol. There were times I needed to go back and double check to figure out who's tale it was and whether it was "real" in the story, or someone telling a story. Although this story really is about the absurd madness of Don Quixote and the people around him, I found myself rooting for him till the very end, and I was rather sad about how it ended

Yes I abandoned this one and yes I have it 2 stars anyways. I actually love Don Quixote and Sancho. I loved it every time they bantered or fought giant windmills and charged at people who he thought were the “enemy” and be all
Bumbling. Those are the bits I Loved and how positive he always stayed, searching for love.
But.......!!!!!!! Every time some “short story” would pop up, it took me completely out of the moment and joy. So much on and on about nothing. Maybe not being a fan of short stories ...more

Made it half way through. The central story was interesting, but too many other uninteresting off tangent stories.
