Publisher's Summary
After spending four years in a Siberian penal settlement, during which time he underwent a religious conversion, Dostoevsky developed a keen ability for deep character analysis. In The Brothers Karamazov, he explores human nature at its most loathsome and cruel but never flinches at what he finds.
The Brothers Karamazov tells the stirring tale of four brothers: the pleasure-seeking, impatient Dmitri; the brilliant and morose Ivan; the gentle, loving, and honest Alyosha; and the illegitimate Smerdyakov: shy, silent, and cruel. The four unite in the murder of one of literature's most despicable characters - their father. This was Dostoevsky's final and best work.
Critic Reviews
"[Dostoevsky is] at once the most literary and compulsively readable of novelists we continue to regard as great....The Brothers Karamazov stands as the culmination of his art - his last, longest, richest, and most capacious book." (Washington Post Book World)

Absolute classic
The voice grew on my immensely, and I thought he was perfect for the characters, especially Fyodor. A must listen, they just don't write em like this anymore.

Excellent
An outstanding book. His insight into human nature, his vivid characters and their interesting philosophical and theological debates were brilliant. That said, it is too long. Too long-winded, and too many detours.

Performance
I really wanted to listen to this book, but the reader was just too annoying for me to get past the first chapter.
