Absolutely hilarious! The characters are so memorable, and the situations are ridiculous. A true gem of Russian literature.

I struggled to connect with the characters. The story felt disjointed. However, the craftsmanship descriptions were fascinating.

The book had its moments, but overall, it didn’t quite resonate with me. I think it’s overrated.

I found it a bit slow-paced. The writing is beautiful, but it took me a while to get into the story. Still enjoyable, but not a favorite.

The humor fell flat for me. I didn’t understand the cultural references. Maybe it’s an acquired taste.

Not my cup of tea. I found it confusing and not particularly engaging. Maybe it’s just me.

Not what I expected. The humor is very dry, and the plot is meandering. It has some clever moments but not consistently engaging

Interesting historical context, but the story itself didn’t grab me. I appreciate the artistry, though.
