4.5

Incredibly well-written and engaging story. I was surprised that I enjoyed this one so much, because it isn't a Dostoevsky story that I am the most familiar with. I genuinely laughed out loud and teared up at different points in the story.

5.0

A sad yet beautiful exploration of the dangers of being kind and good in a cruel society. With thought provoking discussions about religion, the Russian spirit, and morality. It also makes a wonderful use out of Christ allegory and literary allusions.
