Fyodor Dostoevsky

Short review: I am sure there are others that will like this book. Reviews say that there are. But I hated this. Biography should follow biography form. It is not ok to fictionalize biography. The majority of this book is a fictionalized conversation where Dostoevsky tells his story to another character. Dialogue is clunky and contrived. At one point he says, “I know you heard this story before but I am going to tell it to you again”. I gave up. It just was not worth reading. I have another biography that I bought on Dostoevsky but hadn't had time to read yet, why waste my time.
