It grabbed my heart and wouldn't let go. Introspection on the human condition, faith, doubt, love. Dostoevsky is not the easiest read but to the question of Is It Worth It I say yes. Absolutely.

I read it during COVID shutdowns. It's good but long and difficult at times.

I read it last year and really enjoyed it. It's a dep dive into human nature, but it wasn't a difficult read. If you haven't read Russian novels before, you may find it useful to have a cheat sheet with all of the nicknames for the characters.

Fantastic, I listened to it on Audible

Yes.

I need to read that again. I've read it, and honestly didn't feel much from it. But I was relatively young when I read it, so I should probably give it another shot.

It will turn your mind inside out with his inverted narrative approach. Don’t read if you don’t want your views changed.

43 hours + on Audible.
Good luck.

The part about the Grand Inquisitor might be the greatest thing ever written.

And the chapter Rebellion right before it

It’s a commitment. I read it. I’m glad to be able to say I gutted through it, but would never read it again.

Started it during Lent this year, and then realized it's not a traditional novel in the purest sense. It's not a read-and-slog through it book. You slowly pore over it, dig into it, ans read it in bits and pieces.
I've truly enjoyed it.
I've truly enjoyed it.
