Part II is even better than Part I

...what ever that means… but my eyes grow wider and my laugh louder as I eagerly (now) flip the pages. I am not often this kind of reader anymore.

First, Sancho asserts his intelligence, understands that he is not merely a hapless sidekick but an actor with the power to propel the story. He meets DQ’s needs (as a squire should) by creating a Dulcinea from a random, passing peasant girl knowing that once DQ makes his love declaration, they can literally and literarily move on. And I can read on…

And then they meet the cartful of actors – Death, the Angel etc. and resist the impulse to read them as anything but what they are and again the adventure continues…(how is this or is it at all like Pokemon or a video game?).

And now, DQ has met another knight errant and Sancho another squire and knights & squires have just separated for their respective conversations…and it's wonderous to imagine that there are other errantes out there...
