I never thought it would be this hard reading it. So many curses went towards Dostoevsky in the process. I think it never took me this long to read any other book. Tbh I'd rate it 3 stars, but I do realize that it's a huge piece and I think I'm too young for it. I might need to reread it when I'm in my 30s or something like that. But for now, it was good but mentally exhausting.
