I can’t believe I am rating this higher than a one star
So getting into this book was a Struggle but it picked up halfway through and I found myself actually enjoying it… which took me by surprise……random
I like the themes that were explored and I loved all the analyses I’ve seen after reading it.. it encouraged me to read more Russian books
My main gripe is still this: there are way too many characters in this and they are all so Russian and I couldn’t care about any of them really and I kept getting lost and confused. Sorry ok it was TOO MUCH
Overall tho… yeah. Enjoyed. Would recommend.

Оказывается, я очень люблю Толстого, хотя всегда казалась, что буду больше склонна к Достоевскому. Очень крутая повесть. Не знаю, применимо ли это к бородатому классику, но драматургически просто великолепно сделана. Характеры, детали, крупные-дальние планы, мотивации - все блестяще
