T series is just a few subscribers away
-
[sirens] Red alert! Red! Alert!
-
I'm calling upon my last trick I have up my sleeve
-
I didn't think it would come to this,
-
but I guess I have no choice.
-
The one thing that can stop ?️-Series
-
[*Clap* *Clap*]
-
~Book Review~
-
[Calming Piano] You noticed?
-
How as soon as I stopped doing book-reviews,
-
(Sorry about that, by the way)
-
?️-Series just sways in out of nowhere, ( sways? seriously?)
-
and took over? ( NOT YET )
-
But no! I realize now,
-
in the eleventh hour, what I must do.
-
I must review books again.
-
That's what everyone wants.
-
That's what will stop ?️-Series
-
It's never been so clear to me.
-
I can't believe I realized it just now.
-
[Clap Clap... Clap] Book Time!
-
The first book, ahh well..
-
I read alot of books, but I wanted to select
-
the ones that I really really loved.
-
There's three of them that I wanna talk about,
-
annd uh, hopefully you'll check them out as well.
-
The first one is the
-
"The Master and Margarita" written by Nik.. Mikale ..Mik-hail Bulgakov ( Well now that's a confusing name isn't it ?)
-
It was written during the Soviet Union Regime,
-
and during that time, I didn't know this, but
-
Atheism was sort of forced upon the population.
-
Uh, It was forced in schools and people were generally-
-
harassed into becoming Atheists.
-
So this novel is sort of an answer to that.
-
A lot of Russian books I've read so far fff... [eahahah] are features themes- ( someone better add this to the moaning compilation )
-
around Christianity.
-
But I think it's safe to say I've never read a book like this.
-
It's, uh, black-satire? (black-satire?)
-
It's a black-satire comedy around Christianity.
-
It's very weird, but I really loved it. (i wonder it now lol)
-
Ironically Mikhail, the author, [pause] burned the first version of this book
-
because he thought he'd never make it as a writer, ( but he did so, irony i guess )
-
writing a story like this, during this time
-
Annd ah, he wasn't wrong. [chuckle]
-
Because when he actually finished it ten years later,
-
he died shortly after. (rip)
-
There's nothing funny about that.
-
And it wasn't published until 26 years after that, ( wow! )
-
so it took a while, but it was recognized as
-
a masterpiece, and it really is. ( this book got the seal of pewds! )
-
The story follows a mysterious character, (but can that character do THIS?)
-
who visits a group of writers sitting in a park,
-
during an autumn afternoon, ( but why wouldn't they just send an e-mail xD )
-
and ah, this mysterious character is uhm
-
A professor in black magic.
-
This group of writers are obviously curious who he is, (i mean obviously if someone walked into me i'd wonder who that person is smh felix )
-
and they're suspicious that he may be a spy
-
And he gets mistaken for one.
-
This mysterious character is the Devil reincarnated. (when did the devil die?)
-
And named in the book, Voland
-
All the writers are Atheists and Voland describes the ( obviously lol )
-
second setting of the story, which is in Jerusalem.
-
during the someone-something trials (I don't know that name.)
-
Everyone knows about this (oof shots fired on me)
-
The-the trials about the execution of Jesus
-
The writers almost say the-aw that it's possible that these trials never happened
-
It's possible that Jesus never existed
-
And Voland sort-of smugley
-
describes this event as if he was actually there
-
which is obviously impossible
-
Voland also predicts that
-
one of the writers' head will come off in an accident
-
And
-
this of course gets brushed off
-
BUTT (tee hee)
-
later becomes true
-
and get's witnessed by one of the other writers, Ivan (EEE-Vawn)
-
Ivan goes absolutely crazy
-
trying to pursue Voland,
-
Trying to capture him in absolute madness, absurdity, and comedy
-
*inhales*
-
I loved reading this part, it get's even better from there
-
The Devil's midnight ball is- was one of my favorite parts
-
of anything i've read in a while
-
it's-it's just fantastic
-
So I will just end [this review] there
-
BUTT (haw haw)
-
Mikail, the author of "The Master and Margarita"
-
He used to be a playwright
-
So
-
It makes the writing very visual
-
I can really *see* all the characters
-
...and the mannerisms
-
and the humor in front of me.
-
It really feels like you're there when you read it
-
and-which really works well for the comedy as well
-
I laughed out many times while reading this book
-
and all this is really put together in a masterful story
-
it's a story that blends history
-
with the author's own stories
-
that he-he lived through
-
AND
-
his own strides
-
it's a perfect balance
-
I think
-
of-of
-
good and evil
-
and I really REALLY loved it
-
it was actually recommended by one of you guys
-
So...
-
I read one of the comments saying
-
in another book review
-
saying
-
oh "I really think gonna love this book!"
-
and
-
You were right!
-
So thank you very much!
-
"The Master and Margarita"
-
*CLAP CLAP*
-
5 out of 5
-
Thank you for suggesting an actual good book
-
*chuckles*
