Sara,
 
Here are a couple of citations for reviews of English translations of
Bulgakov's Master and Magarita that may be of use to you.  The first is
a comparison of the Burgin/O'Connor and the Peaver/Volokhonsky
translations.  
 
"Mikhail Bulgakov, 'The Master and Magarita'", in: TLS-THE TIMES
LITERARY SUPPLEMENT, no. 4978 (AUG 28 1998): 30.
 
"Three translations of 'The Master and Margarita' (Stylistic merits and
flaws in the versions of Mikhail Bulgakov's satirical novel by Mirra
Ginsburg, Michael Glenny and Burgin/O'Connor)", in: TRANSLATION REVIEW,
no. 55 (1998): 29-33.
 
H.T. Willetts' translations of Solzhenitsyn are generally considered
excellent, and I believe his version of One Day is the only authorized,
full English version.
