saucy_senpai28 's review for:
The Brothers Karamazov
by Fyodor Dostoevsky
One reason I didn't find this book enjoyable was that the ending was ruined for me after 5 chapters. (Thank you, CliffNotes for having spoilers for the entire book in the analysis of chapter 5.) This reads like a soap opera with characters ranting, raving, fainting, and driving themselves to madness, illness, and death just by getting into a heated discussion with each other. There were some chapters worth reading, but for the most part, most chapters were full of 30-page asides that did nothing to move the story and only worked to make me hate the characters even more. It took me almost 2 months to the day to finish because I would start to fall asleep after reading 15 pages, and I was forced to read it as an e-book, which I'm not a fan of, just to stay awake. I'll be giving Russian literature classics a break for a long time.
