  • Critical Reception

    • "Personally this is Dostoevsky's best. It is the hardest topic to cover as a writer--especially in serial form such as Dostoevsky wrote all his novels--truely speaks to his talent." - Barnes & Noble user review
    • "The plot wasn't particularly attention grabbing; however, the stories that are spun by Kolya's father are fantastic." - Amazon.com user review
