Literally, after 3 years...I have officially DNF-ed this book. Life is too short to read books you dislike.

Great story, even better characters, dialogue that was fresh, insightful, and engaging. There were sections that left me in shock with their profound truth yet modest telling. And yet I had the hardest time falling into the story until about halfway through.
I almost feel bad giving it 4 stars, because it truly is masterful. I know it deserves more, but I’ll need to be guided there by discussions with friends or analysis from experts before I get there myself.
The chapter on the Grand Inquisitor, the chapter with with Ivan’s hallucination, and a few others are unbelievable. Alyosha‘s character was one of the most compelling I’ve ever read and will definitely stay with me. A vision of the true, good, and beautiful if I’ve ever read one.
