The Brothers Karamozov is the greatest Christian novel of all time and in the top 3 greatest novels of all time. Incredible insight and its so deep I’ve yet to hit bottom after multiple readings. While it’s a little slow, it’s not nearly so slow as most other Russian novelists.
Totally agree! Yet my closest friend can't stand it, and adores War and Peace, yuck.
It's like that with so many people who've read both authors, and may be a matter of class as well as style. Mary Ann or Ginger. Chambers or Hiss. Irreconcilable.
