I just finished reading this book this morning. I think it’s the best book I’ve ever read. This took my by surprise, because how often is the most recent book you’ve read the best?
Have you read this book? Do you have any interesting conclusions about the characters, the plot, any specific parts, etc.? What is your opinion?
I especially liked the appendix “Stavrogin’s Confession”, which Dostoevsky originally intended for it to be a chapter near the middle of the story. Unfortunately, it was too “shocking” for the times, because I think it gave unmatchable insight into Nikolay Vsevolodovitch’s mentality and psychological situation.

I think I did a long time ago, but it doesn’t stand out in my mind as much as others of his. Sorry – not a very satisfactory answer.
I think I felt that way after finishing each of Dostoevsky’s books: sort of an exponential wow, wow to the wowth power.
It’s been too long now for me to remember particulars of this book, but I remember the feeling.
I’m a choosy reader and don’t hesitate to ditch a book if it doesn’t excite my mind or if it just annoys me. As a result I often finish a book feeling that it’s the greatest thing I’ve read in a while. Like a junkie I guess I’m always trying to get back to that feeling.
No but it seems interesting
@Jeruba : I could not agree more, I have goosebumps ^.^ Reading is incredible when you have found the right book!
No,Why would i read something posted about Demon by Demons.
When Cain and Abel were born they both came out colored just like a person of color, Eve did not ever say that Cain looked different than Abel but his spirit seemed wrong to her. Cain had the spirit of satan in him because his father was satan, Abel original father was made from the clay of the Earth by God because He is Adam’s father, and Admas decedants father.
At first Cain did not stand out until he recieved the mark, which is the mark of pale skin which is the CURSE. Cain was already cursed because he was satan’s son, but “God” wanted “His People” who “He” knew would inhabit the Earth from Adam’s line to know this. That is why he put the pale skin on Cain so that he would stand out from everyone else, the world was then filled with God’s colored people and white Cain decedants. The white race is evil and they are satan’s offspring.
Curse and mark of Cain – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is about ALL of our people of color, all over the world, we are One People and that is the truth that Cain have kept from us for thousands of years thru chaos and trickery, they like for us all to remain doubtful towards each other and not trust each other. Pray for your brothers and sisters all around the world, pray that we come back together.
Are white people the man of lawlessness that the Bible speak of?
