- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Dark Alan Partridge. Compare to his "We need to talk about Alan". Both ramble pointlessly through perceived grievances. It would write well if the phrase "needless to say, I had the last laugh" were put in.
Alanztoyevksy would write: "I was circling the Petersburg arterial junction adjoining the A12 on my Honda civic, recently renovated despite my frequent bouts of melancholy, when I noticed a superb Ford Fiesta. My mind sought to blight that car then and there as I recalled its repairman had slighted me twelve years ago in a cafe owned by a Belarusian who..." And so on.
The best bit is the first part of chapter 1. The rest is essentially "I know I'm a real cunt".2 people found this helpful
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A masterpiece. And unlike the major works this one was the perfect length.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Man lost in enlightening himself with nihilism, there is no stupid Russian romantic.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is absolutely a work of genius. Dostoevsky has spent far too much time wandering around in my mind taking notes. I felt totally naked and found out throughout the book. Also, a lot of credit should go to the reader who is absolutely fantastic for this book.
