A review by spicy_koala
The Idiot, by Fyodor Dostoevsky
3.0
3-3.5 stars. Some of the monologues are loooong.
At the start, I just felt pity toward the prince that people were taking advantage of him. Then it kept happening...and I came to realize the title of the book is apt. Also, not only in reference to the main character, but it applies to most of them.
I’m sure this book is some sort of high-level commentary about society at the time and treatment of our fellow man, but daaang some of it was long-winded and caused me lots of eye-rolling.
