 Rating:  - The pinnacle of Dostoevskii's careerThis book has been called the climax of Dostoevskii's career, the greatest novel of all time, etc. And not without reason. Dostoevskii reaches into our very souls and pulls out our darkest fears. The story introduces a sensous and passionate family.

Considering that this is almost an 800-page book, your vision will be permanently worse if you read this entire book. I understand that it is a long story that they need to keep short, but it's really unhealthy to read a typeface so small. Rating: - very small fontThe everyman library edition has very small font. It is a pain to read it.
