If you like 2nd chapter of first Part, you''ll love this book else this book may bore you with slow pace.
This book is for those who like character buildup more than story. No surprises or twists can compete with how Fyodor built these characters in this book.
I'm currently in 3rd part of the book and I have to tell you that I just don't want this book to end. I can read this forever. Only few books can create this kind of bond with readers.
Even after 150 year, this book is a gem. It's hard to find a book of this kind today. Maybe, age of this book also helped me to stick on with this. There is nothing outdated if it comes to human emotions and struggle. Author built his own unique style of narration which is so satisfying to read.(less)
