A review by rmdcoiso
Os Irmãos Karamázov - Volume II by Fyodor Dostoevsky
2.0
Overall, it reads to me as an overcomplicated, overdramatic and even in a writing style that is unpleasantly too much for such a long book.
While I easily imagine that while I was younger I would be more fascinated at the character development and particularly at their strong passions, right now they mostly seem superficial, their dilemmas simple philosophical questions one goes through in their twenties.
The themes to me seem too simple, as attitudes to the world are resumed to questions of faith, doubt, hedonism, free will and not much else. The ever present classism and sexism doesn't help either.
I wouldn't even recommend this as a school book as there are so many more relevant themes to explore nowadays, not just because they're horribly dated.
