After taking a year or so to plod through 1/4 of the real book, I decided I probably would never finish it. Thus, my desire to still know the story led me to read this.

Cliff notes once again shows itself to be a short course on a novel that I have read. I highly recommend reading Cliff notes after reading any of "the classics."

After finishing The Brothers Karamazov, there were some ambiguities about this complex novel. So I read this book that helped me to understand the concepts of power of love, immortality, etc. discussing throughout the book. It is also a good guide to analyze the characteristics of Karamazov family members.
