A review by chrisspeckwriter
The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky

5.0

I read this when I was a young teacher living in Hungary in 1996. The iron curtain had only fallen a few years previous, and I spend the dark nights reading this massive book and drinking heavily. I also fell in love with a Canadian girl. All in all, with the cold and the Hungarian spirit palinka, the blonde hair of that lass from Winnepeg and the strong emotions, I felt like I was living parts of the story.
Huge, vivid and passionate, The Brothers Karamazov is worth your time and effort, your life will be better for having read it.
