A review by suvata
The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky

4.0

The Brothers Karamazov is part spiritual inquiry and part murder mystery. The father of this unlikely crew is Fyodor Karamazov. He has three sons: Dmitri, Ivan, Aloysha. Fyodor is a mean and greedy man and he sends his sons off to be raised by other people. The is a fantastic story though it gets bogged down with too much detail at times and it takes a bit to get used to the unfamiliar names. To make matters worse, everyone seems to have a nickname. I really think it’s the kind of book that requires more than one reading to absorb its subtle brilliance.
