A wonderful book, with many distinct messages contained within its pages. Dostoevsky is a spectacular author, and this book is his masterpiece. It knows how to wrench at the soul, make you think about life, and give you a brand new belief in Christ. I recommend this book to anyone worth their salt, because not only is this one of the books that must be read in a lifetime, it is a way to see your inner soul.

After a failed attempt at the Constance Garrett version, I heartily recommend this translation.
