🔽 Book review and notes 🔽
One of the greatest books ever written, and I'm one of millions to agree it is.
It is long, it starts slow, it is difficult, but as the story evolves it actually gets exciting, new mysteries are introduced, some doubts are resolved, and you simply cannot help but be curious.
Dostoevsky, a great story teller.
It's been read, re-read and studied many times by people around the world ever since it was written, so not much for me to add but I'd just say, I encountered a grand book.
I now want to re-read, speak with other readers and find out what I'll be finding out as I read again - it's a book that will follow you around for the rest of your life.
So it's so magnificent that it's a piece of human heritage, if it was not a book that could be reprinted, it'd be in a museum.
It has the suspense and the mystery to keep you turning the page, while it always goes back to the simple idea of good and bad, poor and rich, fortunate and misfortune, love, family, friendship, pride, desire and pity and all in between.
Despite the whole dark damming story, it had an incredibly bright and hopeful note.
I'm also simply glad I completed it, it's an accomplishment itself, totally worth it, but now I am not sure if I get to read anything as good as this great story.
