not only really fucking good, but also highly entertaining - there are classics I love that are very good, but admittedly boring, pretentious, or difficult. this book is none of the above. it is riotous and breathlessly paced, and, honestly, you must be illiterate to hate it.

adventurous challenging dark emotional hopeful mysterious sad tense

Still trying to figure out what I think of this book. At some points it was a real slog to keep reading. Lots of kind of crazy monologues and random parts. Some powerful moments though that I enjoyed. Lots of different kinds of characters that felt very multifaceted

A slow burner meditating on the struggle between good and evil in the individual's life and the consequences thereof.
I need to revisit this one at some point because Raskolnikov is fascinating.
