Book Reviews of Don Quixote
Book Review: For Heaven and Dulcinea
Summary: 5 Stars
I must commend Grossman on her excellent translation of Cervantes classic, "Don Quixote". By far, her work is superior to other renditions of this novel including Starkie's because the literature flows better and her words/translation only adds to the story instead of cluttering the pages with small unimportant details.
If your going to read one of the greatest novels ever written, read the Grossman translation and you will enjoy it much more.
Book Review: GREAT!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best translation I've read! I've tried a few other translations and they're all so dry and really don't do justice to Cervantes' humor, but this book absolutely does! If you're going to buy Don Quixote, buy this one for sure!Book Review: Good Translation... Okay Story
Summary: 3 Stars
I have read many versions of this book, and this has got to be the best translation by far. However, I find the story lacking in several points. One, there is no concrete story line, Don Quioxte and his "squire" Sancho, seem to wander about the countryside aimlessly. I know many people that have really loved this book, however I was happy to see the end. The best part of the story is the many short stories within the main story told by traveler the wandering knight meets during his journey. Overall, I thought that this book was worth reading only to add to your bank of knowledge to works of Miguel de Cervantes. If you do wish to do that, then this the best translation I have seen.Book Review: Good service; Good product

The Item was in great condition, no problems at all. The shipping was super slow. I live in Hawaii so that might have something to do with it.
