I feel like I’m missing something here. This was interesting, and I think I understood what the satire was trying to do here, but I still just never connected with the book. Mostly this just felt chaotic and eccentric - like Alice in Wonderland in 1930s Russia with the devil. No one felt like a real character, but maybe that’s the point? On the other hand, even if they didn’t feel real, the characters were still fun to read about, particularly the weird characters like the talking cat. The Pontius Pilate chapters were also interesting in their own way, but I couldn’t really find the connection between that and the main story line.
