Quite possibly the best book I have ever read***** Its sadness and spirit comes through vividly in all but the thickest translations... ...and it never slows down, emotionally or intellectually.!!!! A pace thrilling read to no end... A book everyone should read. I did.!!!!! Sincerely and thoughtfully, thankyou Dostoyevsky for changing the way an adolescent feels... ...and thinks when completing such a moving novel.★★★★★
