Remember that song “What if God was one of us? Just a stranger on the bus?” It was so bad that I completely wrote off the premise and never considered the question again until I started reading this book.

Unlike the song, this book is a masterpiece (so far).

What if the embodiment of that which we regard as ultimately and transcendently Good walked among us? We would treat him like shit! Sad but instructive!!

Yesterday I found myself telling my husband that Prince Muishkin is basically Buddy the Elf ("Ferdishenko, THAT'S a fun name!") Nastasia Philipovna could be a pretty great Jovi character, except for the psychopath vibes she's giving off at about the level of Scarlett O'Hara. We'll see which way she goes!

Anyway, I'm invested in this story.
