This is the best novel I have ever read, and probably the best I will ever read. I don't think any amount of re-reads will allow me to fully encapsulate Dostoyevsky's ideas through the literary, philosophical, and religious views portrayed in this novel.  What I can say, though, without directly quoting the book, is that there exists a Karamazov in each of us, regardless of whether in a good or bad way. I can say nothing more. I'll have to reread this one.
