A tale about a boy, an adolescent. An episode from his life and coming of age. First feelings. Magnificent descriptions. The blonde reminds me of someone. The descriptions deserve a separate mention once again. Long, vivid, and colorful. It doesn’t resemble Dostoevsky. Finished: April 2023 Rating: 10

Reads easily, intriguingly. Three brothers and a foolish father. The brothers are very different. Alexey and the elder Zosima are the most positive and luminous characters in the book. There are many valuable quotes; much is worth rereading. The story is tragic and, at the same time, bright. The narrative has an open ending; of course, knowing the author, it’s not certain that everything will turn out well. But there is hope.

One of the best books. The first part is easy to read. It doesn’t make much sense to reveal too much about the plot - Prince Myshkin returns to Russia after treatment in Switzerland. He crosses paths, by fate, with Nastasya Filippovna and Rogozhin. These two individuals will be with him throughout the entire book. It’s a tale of love and madness. The second and third parts are challenging to read, but these sections are crucial for a deeper understanding of the characters.

A weighty book, profoundly dark. I wouldn’t want to find myself in such a Petersburg. Sonia’s fate is regrettable. Marmeladov, on the other hand, evokes no sympathy; there have been and still are many drunkards in Russia. I’ve personally faced this problem and know how challenging it is to quit. I like Razumikhin; not everyone would go to such lengths for another person. The murder of the old woman is a heavy and senseless scene.

An outstanding science fiction series where the protagonist ceases to be entirely human. The latter books may give the impression of a slight dip in the narrative, but in reality, they delve into a multitude of themes: artificial intelligence, eternity, self-discovery, and the complexities of humanity. It is unequivocally worth reading. Finished: 2022 Rating: 10
