enjoyable, and basically straight to the point. this short story is in theory an interesting premise, but for me personally just kinda falls flat. the idea of the dead having a second chance to mull over their lives, but instead going back over the same talking points in life is thought provoking. but upon reading it, i just found it...average. for dostoevsky and what he's capable of, its down there for me, so its simply just an average short story with a reflective premise that could've been better done.
