Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

There are numerous well written and insightful reviews here on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ, and elsewhere, so what is there to add?
I rated this five stars; it surprised me in its content and the lightness of its expression (I thought the translation I read was excellent- Michael Glenny).

Superficially I found parallels with Harry Potter and the allure of amazing magic, complete with multiple rides on broomsticks and brooding Princes of evil (Woland and Voldemort).
I don't suppose, though, that Hogwarts has ever had to contemplate anything as wild as Satans Ball as featured in The Master and the Margarita

At the individual character level this is a riot. I note that many editions feature a feline on the cover. With good reason. Behemoth is by turn mischievous, vain, preening, obsequious, narcissistic, and much much more.
A great mix that means that he/ she dominates every scene he appears in.
Margarita is another fantastic character. She cavorts naked for much of her appearance in the book and her approach to life is one of heady abandon.
P315" 'I wouldn't like to meet you when you've got a revolver', said Margarita with a coquettish look. She had a passion for people who did things well"

All over the book are non sequiturs and cameo appearances

p206"after a short while the detective squad turned up, leading a sharp - eared muscular dog... At once a rumour spread that the dog was none other than the famous Ace of Diamonds. It was""
We learn very little more about this dog, but like many introduced players, it left me wanting more.

The deeper meanings of the book, of religion and God, and of clever parodies of life in Russia under Stalin, are all subtle and deep, and widely discussed.

A great book, best read at the same speed travelled by the witches if you don't want the cast of characters, with the typically Russian extended, and alternative, names to overwhelm you!
