The Master and Margarita

This review of the classic novel is lengthy but insightful; I originally read this book in high school, having found it sitting on one of my parents’ bookshelves (if you’ve seen my house you’ll understand that that is like saying you found a leaf in the forest). It ended up being an utterly fascinating book, even for a freshman in high school, and remains one of those rare gems to read again and again. It smacks decidedly of the twisting irreverence of Salman Rushdie, although this one came first. In any case, if you get the chance, it’s a wonderful book.
