It feels as if Dostoyevsky had no idea what he wanted to do when he wrote this. It’s a compilation of digressions and amazing insights that don’t factor to the overarching plot, which itself in turn keeps going in circles all the time.
It’s still full of wisdom and Russian culture, so definitely check it out if you are interested in that, just don’t expect a Crime and Punishment level of work.
