I read this in high school and it was the first 400+ page book I read, so I was kind of proud of myself for that.
But I generally like Dostoevsky’s books because of their characters. The characters are so diverse and very well developed. They feel like a product of their world. Human psychology and philosophy are the core of this book explored through character’s beliefs, actions and consequences. It’s also rewarding to do further research on the author and their life.
For people who love psychology, philosophy and exploration of human motivations would like this book, although it is a longer read and an investment.
