Book Reviews of The Brothers Karamazov
Book Review: Possibly one of the greatest books ever written
Summary: 5 Stars
If you've never read any Dostoevsky I can hardly blame you; they're certainly imposing looking. But the 'Brothers Karamazov' is not only a brilliant read buy also a philosophical triumph. While perhaps it does not contain the page turning plot of Crime and Punishment it would be an extraordinary person who could not find some thought within it to challenge and interest them. Of course for such a complex work a good translation is a must and don't be afraid to read the notes unless unlike me you are an expert on 19th century Russia. Yes at times it's difficult to read, but it's well worth the effort.
