Book Reviews of The Brothers Karamazov: A Novel in Four Parts and an Epilogue (Penguin Classics)
Book Review: A Long Haul . . .
Summary: 3 Stars
But worth it in the end. I'm a slow reader by nature, and this took me some time to get through.
Although I haven't read an awful lot of Dostoyevsky, I wouldn't say this was my favourite so far, which is not to say I didn't enjoy it. It can be slow and heavy going at times, but that is to be expected due to the sheer richness of such a large novel - the notes to the text are also a wonderful guide to such a thick prose and I'd have been greatly lost without them. That said, and I don't wish to at all bring spoilers to my review, I did enjoy The Idiot more, just for the deeply dark ending that novel contained compared to this one, the ending of which left me a little unsatisfied, despite the sense of achievement of having finally finished the book!
If you like other novels from the era, and can patiently read large slabs of monologue and the like, stick this one out and you will be rewarded.
