3.5

 The book was slow and boring for the first parts. The last parts start picking up the pace and really tie the story together. I was very uncomfortable with the graphic animal abuse, I think a TW is necessary because the scene is too graphic and violent. This book suffers from r/menwrittingwomen in the way that women have little to no characterization, even fewer lines, or are used as a textbook description of hysteria. Only men enjoy the privilege of being written as deep and being constructed as real characters.

As a classic in literature, it must be read, however I do not think I will read more books by the author. The writting is very good, and the subjects are complex, however, it has a lot of filler and women are either caricatures of hysterics or have paper thin personalities

Primera vez leyendo literatura rusa, y podría decir que odie cada segundo q gaste leyendo el libro.  Es muy lento y no de una buena manera (Jane Austen me parece una escritora que logra esto de una manera espectacular). Le di dos estrellas porque encontré  partes que fueron atrapantes, aunque fueron pocas. La edición que compre era muy mala y creo q eso sumo a que no me guste el libro, compre el libro por internet sin saber que era tan chiquito y las letras estaban tan comprimidas, capaz en otras circunstancias el libro me hubiera gustado mas. Igualmente entiendo porque llego a ser un clásico  tan importante de la literatura rusa.
