This book was a very tiring, but worthwhile read. I think that this book taught me a lot and made me think in ways that I never have before. There are so many innovative and progressive topics in this book that clearly representations the authors own experiences. Though the text could be very dense at times, and feel like it was doing nothing with a lot of words, It is quite understandable, and after some thought, adds to the book. I can't wait to read more of Dostoyevsky's work.
