Can be a tough read at times but absolutely worth it. A book you want to take your time to digest and think about.

Despite my personal loathing for Dostoevsky as a human, I did indeed enjoy this novel. I will say Garnett’s translation is my personal favorite - I believe she captures Dostoevsky’s manic prose better than P&V
