The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky

pretty good. Plot is ok, but all the monologuing by people going crazy is what makes the book great.

There are many philosophical questions asked by this book and not as many satisfying answers. That is probably why these days old Dostoyevsky is referred to much more as an existentialist writer than a Christian one.

Got distracted by other books. Would consider going back to it or reading the audiobook. I enjoyed the writing style.

I'm so glad I've decided to reread this book. It definitely left a different impression than during my school years.
A mystery with values so deep that refer even to modern society.
