One of the best works I've ever read! The way Dostoevsky captures the loneliness of a man, his desire to be loved, his desperate attempts to please - it's so heart touching. 

Fyodor really makes his characters go through some tragic shit.

To give him all his happiness for one moment, then suddenly take it all away the next..

He really makes you root for them, no matter how terrible their actions are (*cough* Crime and Punishment *cough*). 

If you're someone who's easily intimdated by the size of Russian Classics, you should definitely check this out.
