ashwoodbooks 's review for:

The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky
3.75
challenging emotional reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: N/A
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

If you come into this book thinking it's a courtroom drama/murder mystery like I did, you'll be disappointed. If you go into it thinking it's a family drama with some heavy philosophical analysis, you'll be pleasantly entertained.

The book is slow for the first 10/12 sections and then it starts to pick up as it's done with all of the background to the character and scene setting, but again, that was just from the perspective I had with this book.
