Review of 'The idiot' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
Fuck me, I am so tired of these Christ-like characters such as Prinz Myschkin. Dostoevsky's conservatism never irritates me as much as it bores me. Find redemption in Christ or be damned, and so on. Good people are treated poorly but they endure for they are Orthodox Christians, and bad people treat others poorly but eventually go mad or die terribly or suffer ineffably or kill someone, for they are atheist nihilists. Seriously, Dostoevsky's 3 most distinguished novels are more or less the same bland of moralizing drivel. I am truly perplexed that the very same man is responsible for such works as Notes from Underground and The Dream of a Ridiculous Man. Those works are something to be marveled at, yet somehow, everyone ends up reading poorly disguised Christian fan fiction.
