The Idiot

I found myself fluctuating between several emotions while reading this book. It was my first attempt at Russian classic literature and came out the other side feeling rather cold. I found the conversations between the characters far too garbled and enigmatic at times and always felt that I was missing something. The plot itself was rather thin and it was hard to get any sympathy for any of the characters from that. For a tome this long I expected more. Be that as it may I think I will look a bit further into Dostoevsky at a later date. At times I read his prose veraciously so that was a good sign.
