That's why I am so confused. I expected to enjoy every page and that it would read like cutting through melted butter. But what i got was more like chopping through a wooden log with a butter knife

I'm not saying i don't like him. I can't make that judgement of one book and a translated book aswell. I simply wanted some experienced to enlighten me

Is it the case with every novel pre 1900 because i read Candide by Voltaire and it was the opposite of Dostojevsky in the sense that it was a very comfortable read
