"The greatest Dostoyevsky novel for me. I first read it in the Andrew MacAndrew translation (now published by W.W. Norton) which bowled me over."

It was an OK read. I felt it could have done with a bit more work or maybe it was just lacking in the translation

"The greatest (gay) novel, translated by its great (gay) translator. I much prefer this original English translation to all the subsequent attempts by others to make it into In Search of Lost Time"

I was lost in the translation to greatness
I feel like I saw a different movie than everyone else. I hated this movie. Here's an alternate movie poster anyway...

Not a great book to film translation, but as a standalone look at VR and retro gaming it ticks many boxes, just don't read the book first!

I very much enjoyed this novel. Not only do I love Arthurian tales, I love ones with weird storylines. I really like how this was written by some unknown guy and was only recently rediscovered. (well recent-ish). This translation is great because it has the crazy Middle English along with the modern English translation on facing pages. This makes it easier to use both wordings to analyze. If you enjoy reading romantic/Arthurian stories, pick this one up! I am really glad I had to read this for one of my classes!

A very good film that won't be for everyone. If you liked Lost in translation and like films to do with everyday life, relationships etc you will appreciate this. Otherwise you'll likely to find it too slow and a tad dull.

"This novel about a young man’s seven years in a sanitarium for tuberculosis is quite possibly my favorite book of all time. A new translation from the German by John E. Woods in 1996 makes this marvelous read more beautiful than ever."
