A review by bleary
The Idiot, by Fyodor Dostoevsky

3.0

Eep. Criticising Dostoyevsky might be a hanging offence but here goes: although The Idiot contains some extraordinary ideas and writing, although the characters are brilliantly realised, although it's clearly the work of one of literature's true titans, I have to say that I found it a bit meandering and repetitive. In fact, I thought it needed a good edit.

Please be lenient when passing judgement on me.
