A review by murinius
The Gambler by Fyodor Dostoevsky

3.0

Not Dostoyevsky gambling the rights to publish his previous works by dictating a novel in three weeks which he called The Gambler... I was having so much fun reading this that I was thinking "Oh! Fyodor Mikhailovich wrote a comedy of errors. This feels like a normal book. It's actually quite humorous!" Then you reach the end and realise that, yeah, this is certainly the comedy of errors that Dostoyevsky would write.
