lipsandpalms 's review for:
The Double
by Fyodor Dostoevsky
I got through four chapters trying to care about any of the characters in this story. It's not entertaining enough to keep me interested and the story seems to follow this character around for seemingly no reason at all.
He meets with his doctor and (after repeating his name a few dozen times) says basically nothing at all to him whatsoever. Some vague sense that someone he knows has said something untrue at some point. It all felt so nebulous and fruitless I just had to move on.
Dostoyevsky's writing is tedious probably due more to the translation to English rather than the original but it doesn't make me feel anything except bored and impatient.
