I’ve wanted to read this book for a long time because I once heard it called “the best novel ever written.”

This may not make me very literary or whatever, but here’s the thing: at times I was fully engrossed, and at other times I was slugging it out just to get through to the next page.

What I was left wondering in the end was, why did Dostoevsky call Alyosha the hero of the story? This is where I wish I had a reading group or a literary professor to discuss.
