I have read "Master" 3 or 4 times; for the first time when I was still a teen... Then I mostly read Satan in Moscow parts, skipping the Jerusalem ones, on my first re-read I made myself read those parts and try to understand. I think only on second re-read I started to understand what this book really about, and the last time I read it - it was purely to enjoy one of my most beloved books.
So yes, I loved it every each time I read it. And it is interesting how different you get the book at different age.
