Anyone read this? What was your favorite part?

I loved how the characters would constantly say "the devil only knows."
If you haven't read it I would recommend it.

Yeah it's a very good read.

Favourite moments have to involve Behemoth who was always fun.

I downloaded this on my kindle, but stopped after margarita got her witch powers. I found it amusing but it didn't really hold my interest. Should I start reading it again?

It's Bulgakov. He isn't exactly the deepest of writers. He certainly is entertaining though.

Yes. Exciting things happen soon. She gets her powers to do something for Woland and you meet one of Woland's henchmen who is cool as fuck.

To add a bit more to my original post, here's what the commentary in the back of the book says about referencing the devil in expressions.

What the devil - seemingly unmarked expressions of surprise involving the devil proliferate in the novel. Less obvious to the English-speaking reader are all the sounds that relate to the word for minor devil, chyort, especially the root of the Russian word for black, chyornyi. On the first page, for example, Berlioz has black frames on his glasses, and Bezdomny has black sneakers.
