The history of the book and its author is fascinating, and I suggest you read ABOUT it, rather than the book itself. It was smuggled out of the country and brought Pasternak the Nobel Prize. So it is interesting from the political perspective, but it is poorly written.Pasternak was easily the best Russian poet of the 20th century, a titan or true standing, but his prose was awful.
However, the book contains some of the most beautiful poetry... not sure about the translation, of course.
Reading his biography might be interesting, as it was heavily intertwined with the history of the Soviet culture of that period... quite fascinating.
