A review by stefo
White Nights by Fyodor Dostoevsky

reflective sad medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.5

A story weighed down by its incredibly annoying main character (who unfortunately resembles any other "nice guys finish last" dude) and tedious prose, I did not care for these people and I don't think this story "perfectly encapsulates" love in contemporary times as some people have stated. For contemporary reflections and representations - read contemporary books, stop fetishizing classics and their tropes. 5/10.
