A review by josiahdegraaf
The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky

5.0

One of my favorite books. Takes a lot of pages to set up everything, but while the reading seems tedious at first, it pays dividends as you really understand all the characters in the story. The book kept me guessing on whether or not Dimtri actually committed the murder, and numerous plot twists made the story very intriguing. Add to all that the fact that Dostoyevsky portrayed the superiority of the Christian life without being terribly preachy, and we have a great work of literature that I'll be sure to re-read in the years to come.

5.5 Stars (Masterpiece)
