Best book ever, makes you question yourself and everyone else around you. The characters are insanely complex and diverse and the story is utterly beautiful and heart-shattering.

pretty good. Plot is ok, but all the monologuing by people going crazy is what makes the book great.

There are many philosophical questions asked by this book and not as many satisfying answers. That is probably why these days old Dostoyevsky is referred to much more as an existentialist writer than a Christian one.

Got distracted by other books. Would consider going back to it or reading the audiobook. I enjoyed the writing style.
