The downward spiral of a poor student was relatable.  I enjoyed my time (mostly).

That was a piece of great literature. Glad that I have finally read it! 
I was so invested and amazed while reading. Loved how Dostoyevski layered this novel and created such psychologically complex characters. I have no idea what else to write about a literary masterpiece that so many people write and talk about. It was just a greatly good book.
