This book is too long for what it is. It's WILD that I have over 100 pages left.

Okay but the prosecutor's final argument is actually genius. He's out here convincing me and I know the truth.

I'm losing steam. I don't want to accept defeat; but this one may just be too smart for me afterall.

Why isn't Fyodor dead yet? Why did we have 50 pages describing a monk's life and belief system? Why are they just sitting around, playing cards, talking about Nikolai Gogol?! What does any of this have to do with anything?! What am I missing here?

Only 10% of the way through but I'm gonna be real disappointed if it isn't Smerdyakov that kills Fyodor.

"What was the difference between God and human beings if God repaid evil with evil, nay, with a more horrific evil? He burned her in hell forever and ever for one moment of pleasure and joy? He deprived her of her child forever just because the police killed the baby's father before he could sign the marriage contract? She was skeptical of God's justice and consequently of his existence".

I would die for these characters

"...because each passing day seemed to bring Ivan further away from him and the life they used to have together, a life that was receding increasingly into the past, into the realm of childhood and adolescence. The realization that his adulthood..., and which would last all the rest of his life, would have to be lived without his father. That he was becoming a person his father would never know"

"It's weird...I feel like if I created a new human being out of nothing, I would be very happy with them. Just that they were alive even".

God, I would read this woman's grocery list if she published it.v

God this book is awful. They turn into Geese and then foxes who fuck each other and have orgies and all the while there's no fucking plot. So glad I have all 3 books....because this definitely needed to be a trilogy.

If I had a nickel for every book I've read with a child orgy, I'd have two nickels...which isn't a lot...but it's odd that it's happened more than once.

...why did they all turn into geese?

"I don't expect life to be pleasant" ... "but would certainly be nice if it would stop kicking us in the balls"
