Comment trouver les mots pour rendre justice à un tel chef-d’œuvre? Dostoievski a créée des personnages tellement résonnants et intéressants. Ivan et Dmtri me suivront toute la vie. Ce livre m’a émue et m’a fait remettre en question plusieurs choses. Dostoievski est un maître de la littérature et ce livre est le meilleur livre dont j’ai lu de toute ma vie

With the diverse minds of the characters, you dive into a psychological museum of different kinds of people. Exploring schools of thought that different persons might hold, their motivations, traumas, and feelings and how realistically they are written, it kind of raises your consciousness of other people too and I have to admit Fyodor was really the best psychologist

I found myself reading this because it is supposed to be one of the greats. I understand it is a book about ideas but the way it is presented isn’t entertaining. Maybe I need to come back to this when I’m older.

Very good book, if a bit long. The explanation of each person's motives were so believable, the hurt one felt for some of the characters so painful, that the book seemed to be about real people. The helplessness of Snegirev as he threw away Alyosha's offered money, so that he could be able to face his son with pride and show that he could not be bought...
the business with the older brother Dmitry (mitya) took up too much of the book ultimately since it was not given a satisfactory finish, since he was found guilty anyway, but maybe that was the intention of the author, to show that no matter how eloquent the defendants speech was, mitya would not be released. And furthermore, he wasn't even guiltless of the crime since he did harbour ill will, it just so happened that he did everything save the crime itself. Ivan however, was also relatable in that he felt that he was responsible since he left the town as smerdyakov instructed. That was actually so relatable it was scary.

Dialogue heavy, theologically dense, and full of drama. Feel like I just barely skimmed the surface of what this book has to offer, definitely worth a reread.
