Dostoevsky expresses the insanity of the human mind like no other. This book was fun. It has a Dickensesq humor which I found quite entertaining.

"Useless, you say? But pleasure is always useful, and wild, boundless power—if only over a fly—is also a pleasure of a certain sort. Man is a despot by nature and likes to play the torturer. You like it terribly."

"A true gentleman, even if he loses his entire fortune, must not show emotion."
