Lots of characters to keep track of, and the varying nicknames make it even harder. Part one ended really well and had an amazing climax that tied a lot of loose knots.
I like Dostoevsky's writing, but next read, I'll need a whiteboard to write down character notes and keep track of everything 🙏
The way the prince is used as a conduit for portraying the author's ideas is really captivating.

Finished part 3 -
Ippolit is such an interesting character. The whole thing with him search for meaning with his condition worsening is such an engaging way to discover morality in a meaningless world. ESPECIALLY CUZ Dostoevsky is a Christian, and Ippolit is one of the few atheist characters, I think. But he still portrays Ippolit in a believable manner AND HIS STRUGGLE FOR MORALS MAKES SENSE. Part 3 is def up there.
