Descripción
Fyodor Dostoyevsky is a titanic figure among the world’s great authors, and The Brothers Karamazov is often hailed as his finest novel. A masterpiece on many levels, it transcends the boundaries of a gripping murder mystery to become a moving account of the battle between love and hate, faith and despair, compassion and cruelty, good and evil.

Category: Russian Classic
This book took me a little while to get into, but once I got through the first few chapters, I was hooked! This is a long, philosophically dense book, but do not let that deter you. It is anything, but boring, and it will make you think. The main conflict in the novel is Faith vs Doubt. The characters are so dynamic that I believed they were real people. Definitely take your time reading this one. I read it in two months, and there is so much to it that I want to read it again. I think I will read a different translation every time. I actually regret that I can't read it in Russian. I would love to experience this novel in it's original glory.
Gregory is a superb Narrator and look forward to more from Fydor.
Up next The Idiot then perhaps Crime and Punishment.
37 hours flew by and the book with all the human frailties is as relevant today as 100 years ago.
Bravo!.
I didn't love it. It took me 2 months and 3 days to read this puppy.
Am I glad I finished? Yes
Will I re-read it some day? No way
The best parts of this book are when characters are doing actual things, and when Dostoyevsky describes Russia and Russian things and "the Russian way". Sometimes he has his characters do this, sometime the narrator. I feel like I learned a lot about Russia after the serfs were emancipated (and about how that emancipation affected everyone). I was shocked to read that trials were by jury. (Actually, I think I might just look that up, because I just can't believe it was true.)
The worst parts are the long-winded philosophical/religious discussions/arguments that go on amongst the characters. Soooo tiring. I know nothing about the Russian Orthodox church (let alone about that church in the 19th century), so it all just left me tired and bored.
Also, the women. The women are ridiculous. The scream, they cry, they beg, they fight, they are helpless, etc etc etc. With the exception of Katya, they also seem unable to make any decision on their own. There are so many types of men in this book, but the women are all slight variations of the same.
