Easily one of if not the best book I have ever read. Dostoyevsky the man that you were. While it was certainly a challenging, slow read (esp in the beginning) the pay off throughout the book especially in the latter half is so so worth it. Seeing the flaws of each character and how Dostoyevsky connects them with each other *chef’s kiss*. I also thoroughly enjoyed how he wrote about themes such as passion, suffering, and morality.

A total book. About life, the universe, and everything. Amazing analysis of human behavior from parenting, through religion and passions to existentialism. The only issue I have is that most of the characters seem to be philosophers with teenagers' emotionality and naïvety.

Every character in this book is written with amazing depth. Even as I struggled to get through some parts of the (very long) book, I was consistently refreshed by the thoughtfulness of the author.
