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.

Rating: - GREAT Book, HORRIBLE Font
This is a tremendous story, but you already knew that because of the author. But this version is awful because the font is either 7 or 8 CPI.

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 font
The everyman library edition has very small font. It is a pain to read it.
Rating: - Amazing
"All religions are based upon this desire and I am a believer." He comes as close as any author to expressing truth in fiction.
