Rated The Master and Margarita 6/10

I literally have no idea what I read!<br/><i></i><br/>This is far from any kind of review. I just finished the book but I really don't know what I read, or even if there was a story.<br/><br/>It was certainly well told, with weaving and turns and hand offs between characters but I couldn't tell you what it was about.<br/><br/>The Russian names definitely gave me trouble and the author really didn't like to refer to characters by a single constant name (which added to my getting confused).<br/><br/>I do like that I enjoy the Rolling Stones' _Sympathy for the Devil_ - which was inspired (quite clearly) by this book.<br/><br/>The idea is appealing: the devil is bored in Moscow. But I'm fairly sure there's more to the story!
