fantastic ideas and notions on philosophy dredged out in 800+ pages of some of the strangest run on sentences I’ve read in my life. it’s a good read but not that fun of one, I just don’t connect with it the way other people seem to.
maybe I’m too young to appreciate this intensity, or I’m a plot driven person (I’m not, I’ve always been a dialogue girl), but this just seemed like incoherent rambling at certain points, with very beautiful points embedded within. glad I read it, NEVER again.

Dostoevski can be long-winded on occasion, in part due to his having published in serial format, but this book is worth it. The chapter entitled "The Grand Inquisitor" gets a lot of press--deservedly--but the chapter which preceeds it, "Rebellion," is in its own right remarkable.

A pesar de ser un libro bastante extenso, tiene una historia muy interesante y no muy común. Las reflexiones a lo largo del libro son muy interesantes sin importar cuales sean tus creencias. El lenguaje es muy descriptivo permitiéndonos conocer a profundidad la naturaleza de cada uno de los personajes. Yo en lo personal me enamoré del personaje de Ivan, quien, aunque no es el principal de la historia, le da mucha fuerza y pone en contexto una fuerte crítica a la sociedad de la época.

It's not often I find myself so completely unable to answer the question "What did you think?" at the end of a book. I have a lot of impressions, primarily positive, slight weariness from the mad rush in which everyone speaks, but as for what I think...that's not as certain. I'm primarily thoughtful. I'll just leave it there for now.
