While I do have to admit this work does not hold a candle to the great five, this is on the stronger side of Dostoyevsky's minor works. To see in the slow motion of Dostoyevsky's classic Russian lit style the destruction of a man and a family to gambling is rather distressing. The work does not fail to incite emotion. The style is a bit too slow paced for me, and I found it hard to pay attention with the constant throwing of French in the story. Still, the prose did it's job, though this isn't as beautiful as Crime and Punishment, Demons or the Brothers K. A less daunting step on the path to completing Dostoyevsky's works.
