Qué jartá de reír, cuánto he disfrutado en esta relectura: los diálogos, los juegos narrativos, las situaciones absurdas, el saber cómo se vivía hace cuatro siglos.
La novela además mejora según Cervantes va encontrando su ritmo, y en la segunda parte se vuelve aún mejor, al evolucionar los personajes y la misma novela. Una pena que a base de tanto libro de texto, tanta adaptación infecta y tanta veneración pública se asuste tanto a la gente.
La edición es muy buena, con multitud de notas para aclarar palabras o giros en desuso.

Was this a Sienna Nealon novel?

This is the best book in "The Girl Out of the Box" series at this point. I love how all the arcs started to fit into places as well as how the revelations were placed at certain parts (not to early, not to late).

In addition to those, it was great to pull on the bits of side information from all the other 37 books which were forgotten immediately (didn't matter back then) but turned out to be very important in this showdown.

10 out of 5 stars if it's possible.

Claiming to be a knight. he gives himself the name Don Quixote of La Mancha.

From the very start, we get a sense that maybe Don Quixote is crazy. In psychology the term Quixotism relates to “over-idealism” and is often used in reference to someone with a naïve romanticism towards utopianism. The term “tilting at windmills” refers to a scene near the beginning of the novel …
