This novel is full of strong characters and the complex social situations they occupy. It is at its best in the clashing personalities of the brothers: the sensual and volatile, the intellectual and tortured, the spiritual and sensitive, and the shadowy and sinister.

Many of us started the book, but only a few finished it. Those who did, however, became great admirers of Dostoyevsky’s work.

Reader, take your time with this book. It is well worth the effort.
