Average Rating: 
Rating: - I occupy myself with this mystery because I want to be a man
Anyone interested in the central question facing mankind will find `The Brothers Karamazov' an essential guide. That question--on man's capacity for responsibility and the proper role of the state and religion--is posed throughout the story in dialogue and events, and is framed neatly in a 20-page section where Ivan presents a poem titled `The Grand Inquisitor' to his brother Alyosha. The chapter that bears that title (Book V, Chapter V) is a masterpiece in itself and should be studied for its narrative ... Read More
Rating: - The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoyevsky
Yeah you've got to read Dostoyevsky's Brothers Karamazov
Yes I know its long (indeed, it was intended to be the first book of a trilogy) and the names can be hard (Smerdyakov, Kolya Krossotkin) and characters can have more than one name (Dmitri, Mitya)
But just stick with me here. The books incredibly moving. You finish reading it, it knocks you over like a pile of bricks. POW!
I've read the book twice. Its a long one, make no mistake. HUGE. Books like this can be used ... Read More
Rating: - A Literary Masterpiece
Every now and then I read a book that I believe should be on every Christian thinker's bookshelf. Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov is one such book. It is not an exaggeration to say that The Brothers Karamazov might possibly be one of the greatest novels of all time.
Warning: Plot spoilers follow...
Dostoevsky's description of the tragic Karamazov brothers and the murder of their father provokes questions about God's sovereignty, the place of suffering in our world, human depravity, ... Read More
Rating:  - Bothers Karamazov
Great book --compelling and one of Dostoyevsky's best. The conversation between Christ and the Grand Inquisitor is a passage for all human kind.
Rating: - Dark and Beautiful
With this book, Dostoevsky makes a brilliant social critique spanning over religion, family, social caste, and existential thought. His characters are passionate and real. His observations are apt and moving.
I found the beauty of this work to be that I appreciate its darkness and let it depress me only because it is timeless and relevant still.
