5.0

This might be my favorite book of all time, it made me so miserable(in a good way!!!), and it well deserves its place as Dostoyevsky's most famous novel. I found the philosophies and internal monologue, and how it influences others/is influenced by others to be one of the most interesting parts of this book.

Damn. Okay so some parts of this were really slow and a bit tedious but the profound themes in this book... the dialogue, its gut-wrenching and elevating. i did really like it, especially toward the end. last 150 pages I'd say were the best. Likely will not read this again but certain parts are literary gold. Also can I just say I love Sonya as a character. Something in her is just so beautiful to me. Excellent book.
