  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

I loved the first two books I read from  Dostoevsky, so I assumed I would love this one. I just never really cared about the characters, and it got very slow in many parts. It is halfway through the book before the main event happens, and the last half is better than the first, but it was HARD to get through this book. Very well written, but just never connected.
