A review by artistsallie
The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky

3.0

A wild wild ride on this one. Some parts could easily fit in a modern rom-com while other parts are about as dark as classical literature gets. Some of the quotes are absolutely incredible and I love the premise that Dostoevsky was working with, but very confused by the disjointed and strange structure. I also feel like some of the characters get forgotten throughout.

My favorite part is how you get such an intimate look into Dostoevsky trying to process the world around him and his own life through this book.
