About this listen

Fyodor Dostoyevsky is a titanic among the world's great authors, and The Brothers Karamazov is often hailed as his finest novel. A masterpiece on many levels, it transcends the boundaries of a gripping murder mystery to become a moving account of the battle between love and hate, faith and despair, compassion and cruelty, good and evil.

Book is a classic but for some reason it didn't sit with me that well. I would recommend the book, but all in all it didn't sit well with me.

Alright I guess

As a previous reviewer has said, it's not obvious that this is abridged. I have 3 things to say:
1. All the precious invaluabble philosophy is lost in this abridged version, a bare bones story is what you get.
2. Having said that, TPS reads it beautifully and draws you in. If this version spurs you to read the full book, as it did me, then a good has come of it.
3. Read it yourself, or failing that, listen to Frederick Davidson narrating it here on audible.

Yes, this is abridged
