I would recommend every Christian read it. It is almost impossible to single out one aspect, but I will try. The stark sincerity of Alyosha. Next to all the others characters, who are all after something, Alyosha stands out like a blinding light. He is so innocent, so simple, so naive, so emotional, so kind, so confused. He is sort of the axil around which everyone else moves. His journey throughout the novel is compelling, and, as you say, haunting. I must read it again some day soon “The Brothers Karamozov” is one of my favorite books. I would recommend every Christian read it. It is almost impossible to single out one aspect, but I will try.

Karamazov this past summer. I got about half-way and it still haunts my shelf, laughing in my face. I'd love to finish it, but what a beast - one I have been unable to tame!
