Review: Good book - Came in good condition and cheaper than other books stores like Waterstones.
Review: A little confusing, but you'll be no more confused than the other characters in the book! - I went into this Dostoevsky blind, having never really read a 'Big Russian' book before. I always found them rather intimidating. However, Quarantine made a desperate man of me to find something to do, so here we go. Demons is pretty easy to read language-wise, the translation does a great job to ease you in, but I had to get used to Dostoevsky's flippant switching of first name and patronymic with the surname. Learning who is who is arguably the greatest challenge in the book. Rule of thumb? Nikolay Vselovodovich is Stavrogin. Pyotr Stepanovich is Verkhovensky. It legit took me half the book to realise that these names were connected to each other. To those of you who have read it, I'm thick, I know. Don't let this confusion fool you into thinking this is a frustrating read though. I enjoyed myself despite the fact that I was confused with who's who. And I believe that confusion was intentional because Demons still manages to be extremely enjoyable, funny and gasp-inducing/shocking even without me entirely sure what's doing who is doing what. Indeed, the plot seems to revolve around people not having a full grasp of what's going on, and before long it blows up in their faces, so, like I said, the confusion adds to the flavour. There are even many characters who don't know what's going on but pretend/act as if they do, slyly pointed out by the narrator; acting in some romantic OTT way as if they were in some desperate over-worked Hollywood movie, when they're not. They just want to establish their social position in their society, and not to be judged completely, (although it is the only thing with which they can be judged, lol), by their good looks, money and methods of becoming impassioned and angry... Varvara Petrovna is a GODDESS!!! These are the scenes I enjoyed the most. And the ball at Yulia Mikhailovna's which is just a crackling firework display of black comedy and chaos. Yes! Give it a go! Enjoy yourself. Involve yourself in the social life around Skvoreshniki, and get to know the people. Before the end, you'll have a thorough grasp as to what's happening, I promise. I literally gasped in shock at the 2nd to last paragraph, and then chuckled darkly at the last sentence. Humdinger ending. Brilliant.
