Took me a long time to finish as I was in the middle of a massive reading slump, but since picking it up again it was so thrilling and enticing.
Dostoevsky really does it like no other, to add such depth to what is basically a bunch of people sitting around a room and talking.
And the social and religious paraboles with the autobiographical nuances, make this a easy 5 star for me.
