Your looked-for quote sounds like my book reviews: "I liked it." "I didn't like it." There may be reasons, but that's about it, when it comes to the crunch.
Leading to... I did a course at university called "Faust & the Magus Tradition" which was for some strange reason held by the German department, and it was the most interesting thing I studied (especially as a chemistry major). Bulgakov's _The Master & Margarita_, Goethe's original Faust, some SF (Joan Vinge? I think?) and one of my papers was on the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil" - complete with original artwork (mine, not the Stones!).
