Notes from Underground (Paperback) by Fyodor Dostoevsky bookshelves: personal-collection |
my rating:

recommended for: People who aren't afraid of who they are
read in June, 2008 
Jonathan said:
"Ah, the novella; and more specifically the existential novella. I loved this book because it bit off precisely what it could chew. Dostoevsky is a master writer and gives his audience a perfect slice of his anti-hero's life. It tells the tale of a se...more

Jonathan said:
"I'm willing to acknowledge this Russian novel's influence on its genre, but I still don't think that makes it the best one. Or even a great one. Although, the book is rich with themes that pose it against "1984," for example; it's jumbled a...more

Jonathan said:

recommended for: Cynics
read in June, 2008
Jonathan said:
"This book is brilliant. It is very easy to read; it'll take you three hours to complete the whole thing. It tells the true story of a boy, who is referred to as Dibs in the book, who has been neglected, abused, and unloved. Through child therapy sess...more

recommended for: Middle-schoolers, particularly.
read in May, 2008
Jonathan said:
"I thought the author of this book was limited because he was writing to a middle-school audience. And I was wrong, through all of his limitations, he is still able to tell a wonderful coming-of-age story. The characters are real (if not simple), the ...more
