Highlights:
- Woody's take on what is love and how one experiences death is quite impressive,with more focus on love than on death!
- The fast paced narrative and the introductory scenes are full of sarcastic comedy taking digs on Russia and war and are funny to the core.
- The complex dialogues that Woody and Diane exchange are downright funny and brilliant!
- The Napolean assassination plotting scenes add to the fun and provide a climax to enjoy.
Dostoyevsky, a terrific funny character!
