Il Maestro e Margherita

More like a 4.5/5

Story : The devil comes on earth and wants to do a magic show, Margarita is searching for her Master and we get another take on Pontius Pilate's story. It's interesting how there are 3 storylines, but I didn't really cared for Pontius Pilate's part... everything else was really interesting and it's amazing how Bulgakov combined satire with macabre happenings. Also, the relation between good and evil is really well tackeld... humans are the cause for everything apparently. The descriptions are also well made and sometimes, unsettling.

Characters : Woland is just great, Woland's sidekicks are just great, Margarita is just great, The Master is just great... these characters are really intriguing and funny! We don't know very much about them, but what happens to them and what decisions they make compensate for that. It's interesting how The Master is Bulgakov himself...

Overall : I've only read this and The Double by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, and I'm already starting to think that russian literature is going to be my favorite... yeah, you should read it!
