>the prose is difficult and is not light reading for a casual read on the beach sitting in the sun with a drink in hand

>How can this be a classic? I have no idea. Slow torturous story about a lunatic who lives in fantasy. If only he would find his end in the first chapter...

>I did not enjoy reading this book. I do not recommend reading this book unless you are studying it. It is not entertaining or enjoyable. There are many repetitive and redundant encounters and concurrences. The writing style is annoying and irritating.
>I doubt very much if a different translation will make any difference. The story keeps getting lost in the author's attempts to prove how clever he is or his endeavor to declare himself discerning. (I can do this all day long, apparently Cervantes could, and did, also)

>Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra is ok if one is looking for a text book, but fails on all points as a good read.
as a free book I think it is over priced. not recomended as a book to read to enjoy.

>It is supposedly a great Spanish classic but it is as bad as Shakespear. I got very little out of it.

>very boring abou the squire, i encourage everybody to no read this boring book, althogh it was pretty amazing
