pk1 's review for:

The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky
3.0
dark mysterious reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

3.5 on a re-read. Knowing what was going to happen detracted from the story for me. It became tedious in the last part because I remembered the ending pretty well. It’s still a good book, though. I’m curious how I’ll feel after reading “C & P” and “The Idiot,” if I’ll have the same reaction.
