Widely regarded as the world's first modern novel, Don Quixote chronicles the famous picaresque adventures of the noble knight-errant Don Quixote de La Mancha and his faithful squire, Sancho Panza, as they travel through sixteenth-century Spain. [Translated by John Ormsby.]
I started reading this with a group of friends, taking turns to read chapters aloud. For the first 5-10 chapters I was enthralled, finding it an utterly charming satire of essentially the same genre that Monty Python and the Holy Grail sends up. But after that it felt like it kept repeating the same jokes, and started to wear thin enough that I didn't actually finish it.
Was this a Sienna Nealon novel?
This is the best book in "The Girl Out of the Box" series at this point. I love how all the arcs started to fit into places as well as how the revelations were placed at certain parts (not to early, not to late).
In addition to those, it was great to pull on the bits of side information from all the other 37 books which were forgotten immediately (didn't matter back then) but turned out to be very important in this showdown.
10 out of 5 stars if it's possible.
