pvulibx 's review for:
The Karamazov Brothers
by Fyodor Dostoevsky
"[…] [O]thers have their Hamlets; so far, we Russians have only our Karamazovs!"
Masterpiece.
I wish I could find the words to even describe Dostoevsky's genius. The storyline, the characters, the philosophical musings. Everything.
I loved the book from the first few pages, but the last 100 pages really did it for me. The prosecutor’s speech was so frustrating to read, I had to put away the book several times, but I STILL LOVED IT. The defense attorney's speech blew my mind with how logical and reasonable it was (Loved the take on psychology). Like, Dostoevsky logically and comprehensibly worked out both the defense and the prosecution. GENIUS.
Love Alyosha, love Dmitry, especially love Ivan (his last chapter before the trial… immaculate. Probably my favorite part of the whole book).
Don’t love Fyodor Pavlovich, so good riddance.
Man, I wish I were as good a writer as Dostoevsky, just so I could review his books on par.
