For me it's the most difficult book I've ever read. Not much was due to the language (since I'm not an English speaker), but the intricate philosophical discourses about God which somehow escaped my interest. The subject was definitely not my forte, so the book had me felt really frustrated and lost interest at times.
However, the characters from the main cast to the very minor ones were so full of life and thus very interesting. Fetyukovich and Grushenka are my favorites. I also especially loved how Dostoevsky animated his female characters in his prose. He made them so contemptuous and venomous and wicked and yet so beautiful. All in all, it's a great book and a great read.
