no wonder this book is a well-known classic. it's beautifully constructed and extremely interesting. a bit of a tough read but well worth it. all of the characters have very diverse beliefs and it's interesting seeing it discussed and how dostoevsky himself doesn't seem to venture too far one way or the other, though i think it's fair to say his beliefs most likely align closely to out protagonist. amazing story, loved it :3
