lukeblundell 's review for:
The Brothers Karamazov
by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Very similar to Crime and Punishment in that it begins with a fascinating and complex exploration of very morally ambiguous corners of the late 19th century. This one is more on the nose, but definitely achieves a lot more. Ivan's speech in the restaurant or his interaction with the devil is definitely an all timer. Just a shame that it (like C&P) shifts into a bare-faced murder mystery. I appreciate that the philosophical sequences aren't artificially thrown in like Mann, these ones are natural and fitting, but it peters out for me towards the end once it starts pulling its philosophical punches
