800 pages a struggle? Man I wish it would never end.
-
Reading this book now, I am amazed at how deeply and sincerely he reveals the psychology of human nature and how modern everything he talks about. Many things are just prophetic and happen in this age.
-
Amazing novel. Masterpiece of human nature, philosophy, religion, love and sin. Absolute BEST of Russian literature.
-
Look at the editing!! You make the chunky book sound intriguing.
-
Dostoyevsky must have pushed himself to the limits of his psyche, emotions and madness in order to write so humanly compelling as he does in this book. The words he uses to explain and go beyond feelings are better than years in psychotherapy. Edit: I never wanted it to end, either. Although it took me a few chapters and then I was hooked, and then the hook kept getting wilder and wilder. Utterly insane, sad, everything and funny, too. Mind blowing. Thankful to the humble master Dostoyevsky ♥️

Reading this book; you can't stop and want to have it finished soon to know how it ends, and at the same time you do not want to finish because you already know that you may not read such good book again. Though it is 200 years old, it feels like it was written yesterday.
-
This is absolutely a work of art! From the editing to the presentation of the plan for the read through - it was engaging, encouraging AND inspiring! I only thought I was hyped before, now I'm over here sliding my Bros K book over to me, ready to roll!
-
Just finished the book and all I have to say is read it. Its a transformative experience
-
Hardest thing for me when I read crime and punishment was keeping track of the characters. Maybe if their names were like Jim, Bill, Angie… but the Russian names got me. Especially the fact that one person could be called several different things. Similar to formal/informal pronunciations. But once I finally got past that I could tell who was talking just by the things they were saying. The tension between the characters made the book amazing. The plot is one thing, the drama between the characters and the characters themselves is what makes Dostoevsky such a great author. I just started reading this book, I am excited to see who I meet.

I’m so ready to begin reading TBK!! This video was super helpful- I feel like I’m taking a literature course 👏 Also, I loved the cats hugging.
-
Thank you for starting this community! I started this book last month but I can't wait to immerse myself into deeper discussions as I finish
-
You out did yourself with the editting on this one! The intro is SUPER engaging and almost got me to pick it up, almost 😅
-
Great editing and summary!! I'm excited to start!!
-
We need more channels like this. People need to wake up and challenge their brains. Great work.
-
Great video guys! I’ve been reading this book for decades and this is the best intro I’ve ever heard. Also your back and forth editing reminds me of a back and forth between alyosha and Ivan. Intense
-
I have just started with the novel and I am very very excited about it. I have wanted to read it for many years but never got to it until now. I have read several of Dostoyevskis novels and I can say that there is no one greater than him. And this book is going to be my last of it for which I have been preparing for a long time through the reading of previous novels in order to prepare myself for the big event. Thank you for this video and that I have found this channel.
-
This was absolutely fantastic!! Really looking forward to digging into this and I hope it captures me the way it did you guys.
-
Fantastic video! I’m so impressed. Great introduction. I just read this but might have to join in because I loved the book so much. I will second your opinion that it’s not hard to read. Tolstoy has my head spinning with names in his long books but I never got anyone mixed up in Bros. K. Thanks for your hard work. Deb

Enlightening. Very helpful. Looking forward to reading it again. Thanks for this.
