This is a bit of a slog to get through. It picks up a bit more in the final couple parts but I wouldn’t call it a satisfying read.

Although it was quite complex and multilayered I felt that it could've been shorter. Since it was incredibly long it was not as impactful as I hoped. Also I thought that the ending was just weird. After so much darkness and hopelessness

all is resolved with the power of love? What was that? Also the misogyny was quite awful especially during the part before the confession scene

Primera vez leyendo literatura rusa, y podría decir que odie cada segundo q gaste leyendo el libro.  Es muy lento y no de una buena manera (Jane Austen me parece una escritora que logra esto de una manera espectacular). Le di dos estrellas porque encontré  partes que fueron atrapantes, aunque fueron pocas. La edición que compre era muy mala y creo q eso sumo a que no me guste el libro, compre el libro por internet sin saber que era tan chiquito y las letras estaban tan comprimidas, capaz en otras circunstancias el libro me hubiera gustado mas. Igualmente entiendo porque llego a ser un clásico  tan importante de la literatura rusa.
