Title: I didn't want to finish it
Review: It's been a long time since I haven't finished a book, even ones I didn't like. I really enjoyed Goethe's Faust and thought that this book would be a great follow up. I've never read any of Mann's books but I took a shot on this one and wish I didn't.I found the text to be far too complex and verbose. Way too many charachters to keep track of and very and I mean very little action. It takes halfway into the book before the conversation with Adrian and the Devil takes place and I was hoping that this would make the mostly arduous journey of reading (although the discussions of religion in the fraternity was interesting) the book worth it. But the conversation with the Devil was boring and in my estimation difficult to understand why Adrian was lured.I read the next chapter and then I realized I don't like this book, I haven't liked this book and drudging through another 200+ pages just to finish it isn't worth it.
Is the review positive or negative?
