The characters and story are so well done. Dostoevsky yaps too much sometimes though.

[…] in jedem genialen oder neuen menschlichen Gedanken, oder sogar einfach in jedem ernsten menschlichen Gedanken, der in einem Kopf zu keimen beginnt, immer etwas ist, das zurückbleibt und sich unmöglich anderen Menschen mitteilen läßt, selbst wenn man Bände vollschreibt und diesen Gedanken fünfunddreißig Jahre lang erläutert; es bleibt immer etwas zurück, was um keinen Preis den Schädel verlassen will und für alle Ewigkeit in einem bleibt; und so stirbt man, vielleicht ohne das Wichtigste seiner Idee an irgend jemand weitergegeben zu haben.

There are a lot of things one could say about this novel: the psyche of the characters, their flaws, their opinions, their suffering, their sins. There is a lot that can be said about the author's self-inserting through the Prince. 

All I'll say is that I have never felt such sympathy for a main character as I have for Leon, and that is something that the book community knows to be rare.
