It's hard to lose with Dostoyevsky. His characters are so complex, their intentions so veiled and their motives so mysterious that it leaves one wanting more. The readers suit the story. The female reader is very good. The male reader may take some getting used to. He does calm down some later on, but I never minded any of his readings. I hadn't laughed so hard in a long time as when I heard his reading excerpts of his novelist friend's. You will find yourself trying to replicate his accent.

This was entertaining. The book itself is interesting. Part of the Dostoyevsky journey which I’m really enjoying. The reader who reads the letters from the woman does a wonderful job. Listening to the reader who reads the man’s letters Is funny. He sounds at first like Mr. Roboto and then he gets going and starts reading with such feeling. It’s really amusing. Push through and I think you’ll be glad you did.

Very Animated!

Thank you so much for this reading. At first I was uncertain about the way in which Makar was read, but it grew on me & I think it added a great deal to the character, helping to accentuate his sorry state. Thank you, again, for volunteering your time to record this. EP

Highly Entertaining Dostoevsky selection

I agree with an earlier reviewer that the voices are fitting to the characters. Makarov is an extremely melodramatic personage, and the reader's voicing illustrates the trait perfectly.

Excellent
