This is so obviously a classic I truly lack the words to be able to write something as banal as a review for it.
Dostoyevsky is one of the greatest authors of all time and this book is a masterpiece. A truly must read for everyone- at least once in their lifetime.

I was rather overwhelmed by this sprawling philosophical and psychological monster of a novel.
Not sure that I read it rigorously but will study it more.
One professorial YouTube that I watched flatly stated that if you are not knowledgeable with the entire Bible and works of Shakespeare that you miss most literary references.
I like following the arguments on theism.
I could not FOLLOW THE MONEY or the shifting love allegiances. So convoluted that you had to dig in hard to stay with it.
The brothers were incredibly vividly characterized and therefore we understand them as flawed human beings. Indeed, every character in the novel was subjected to detailed motive analysis.
Lots to take in!

A tremendous novel and a highly accessible translation for the contemporary reader. The novel’s climax centers around a courtroom drama, but The Brothers Karamazov is about far more than just the central parricide. Alyosha’s journey of faith was arguably my favorite part of the novel — especially his relationship with the village children as they reconcile and mourn for their ill-fated friend Ilyusha, and his crisis of faith surrounding the death of his beloved Elder Zosima.
Truly beautiful, a masterpiece that stands the test of time. A must-read for any classics lover.
