Dostoyevsky's, The Possessed, is about as droll as one could expect from Dostoyevsky; however, if you have a love of Russian history and philosophical narratives, then this is a great novel. Although it is obviously dated and far removed from what we relate to as far as political satire, it still plucks many a chord when speaking of the opposing ideologies of the time. A must read for whomever likes a challenge with classical literature.

Ever been afraid of continuing to read a book lest it end or not meet expectations? That's where I'm at, everytime I open this up. I've only just started.
