Dostoïevski successfully wrote the longest book ever made.

Sans niaiser c'est un coup de circuit de réussir à écrire autant sans ressentir qu'on tourne en rond trop souvent et que ça tienne la route. Crime que j'aurais pris des centaines de pages sur Illioucha et Kolia au lieu de focuser sur d'autres choses par contre.

The intended message of the book is extremely interesting, however they way in which you have to go through hundreds of pages of useless yapping is really tiring.

A marvelous piece of work.
Certainly not what I expected going in, this hugely philosophical novel has given me a lot to think about. A lot is implied, and while I may not agree with all of it, the insurmountable genius of Fyodor Dostoyevsky and what he has achieved here can't be denied.
I'll be writing a detailed review later, once I have managed to gather and make sense of my thoughts.
