margedalloway 's review for:
Poor Folk
by Fyodor Dostoevsky
An unbelievable amount of power for such a short novel. Some of the passages are heart breaking, particularly the story of the student. It's not flawless; the letter about the actress that parallels Varvara was clumsy, and the structure becomes quite loose towards the end. The characters and plot aren't as compelling as Crime and Punishment, but you can tell they were written by the same author, which is more than enough to make it worth the read.
