brenticus reviewed Byron's Don Juan. by Lord Byron
None
4 stars
This is a wild read. Byron is just all over the place. I don't understand half the stuff he's satirizing but his writing is just so lyrical and chill that it's fun to just kind of bob along with the words.
The plot, uh, exists, sort of. Reading about Juan's exploits is fun for the couple of stanzas at a time that Byron can focus on him.
The incompleteness is... unfortunate. It's not that he had drafts left or anything, the story literally just ends on a cliffhanger. So that's weird.
It's just a bizarre read. I was very into it. Byron is weird, I like him.
