A review by wrath1776
Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes
5.0
Don Quixote is simultaneously the best and worst book I've ever read. One of the few books that ,while reading, I wanted to put it down and stop reading just so that the book would never end. But of course I read it all in it's hilarious entirety.
At first I found it funny, then I found it needlessly long-winded, then I realized it was satire and it went back to being hilarious. We all should read Don Quixote and we all should recognize that, from the gluttonous, proverb abusing, low-born fools to the well-read, chivalrous, noble knights should be our best and be purely ourselves. The way Sancho and Don Quixote gained infamy that grew into a beloved fame while doing nothing differently, they just kept trying to go on chivalric adventures is such a great tale.
One of the best books I have ever read and it's potent culture that flows from it's pages left a lasting impression on my worldview and the way I see myself.
Easiest 5/5 hogs I've given since I started reviewing books for myself. If I read this review again to remember Don Quixote it will be hard not to start the adventure all over again.
