I like him, but for me, it’s Stephen King, a lot of his stories he goes off on a twenty page non-relevant rant.
Though, the ones where he keeps that to a minimum, are great.
Then there’s Mr. Marketer James Patterson who markets out his name to other authors making it look like he wrote the book when it was obviously someone else.
I don’t like Dostoevsky. I find his overall philosophy boring, character frantics and cliche, writting style and structure bad. I like The Idiot, and to some extent the demons. Crime and punishment and brother k I thought were boring.
I’m in a minority though. He is obviously world renowned writer, so maybe I don’t get him. Although most of my russian friends share my opinion.
The Soviet film version of Crime and Punishment is amazing but yeah Dostoevsky generally sucks.
soivets were incredible film makers.
Have not read him but am planning on listening to K-Bros on audiobook soon. Could this be a “Seinfeld is unfunny” effect?
