In terms of comedy, this book is at times damned hilarious! There were a couple of times I had to stop reading because I was laughing so hard at the insanity and misadventures of Don Quixote and Sancho. Honestly, I only made it about one-third of the way through. The story goes off on several tangents, and not all are exactly page-turners. It doesn't help that the style of writing is extremely prolix and over-the-top eloquent. Maybe some day I'll pick this book back up and finish the tale.

Not sure why I chose to pick up this book, I know I was trying to read more classics, but I was pleasantly surprised by this book. It's funny. I chuckled through the whole thing. The main character is so easy to root for and I never wanted to put the book down. It's one of my favorites now and I recommend it to people all the time. If the size scares you, get the audio book! I did listen to some parts of it while at work and that was also very cinematic.

4,5* Pierwszy tom z pewnością lepszy od drugiego. Jednak to ile ta książka dała mi komfortu i chwilowego odetchnięcia sprawia iż z uśmiechem wspominam jej lekturę
