Ages 7-up. There is a repeat of passages. At least one location. Book reads well and translation is great. For the price I would expect more from the copying. For years, I had assumed that Don Quixote was one of those classics that nobody actually read anymore, because the language would be so dense and the writing style so, well, old that it would be a chore to get through. Then I came across this translation by Edith Grossman, read a couple of pages and realized how wrong I was.
Cervantes wrote Don Quixote with tremendous wit, verve and imagination and Grossman's translation retains as much of the humor and clever wordplay as is possible in a translation.
My fears that Don Quixote would be a boring slog were entirely unfounded. The inventiveness and imagination of Cervantes shines through every page and the language sparkles beautifully. Before I read it, I thought it was a novel I would never read. But by the time I was done, it had become -- hands down -- my favorite book.
So don't be scared: you too can read Don Quixote. And trust me, you're missing out if you don't.
