5.0

Just absolutely vile slimy creature soggy horseradish, just the opposite of happiness, the heavy swinging between madness and despair, perfectly captured by Dostoevsky through the voice of his unnamed protagonist, in a way that makes you want to crawl into a hole, but also in a one that forces you to stare it in the face. 

Definitely read this book, especially if there's a part of you that hates yourself; seeing it on the page so clearly is like an exorcism; it's refreshing.
