This was my first Dostoyevsky book and I think I won't be picking up his other works anytime soon.
Despite being a short novel with less than 200 pages, I couldn't connect with the story or characters at all.
The story was interesting and I was absolutely intrigued with the plot but I just end up speed reading it, just to get to the end.
The last chapter was brought up to a crescendo where it crashed and burned and quickly ended. I couldn't quite understand it until I looked up some explanations. I was so confused.
So I gave it a 2.5 stars, mainly for the complex main character and the creepiness feeling of the novella.
