Sunday Times
Marvellous...fluid and well-paced translation
Observer
Volokhonsky's and Pevear's translation brings to the surface all of Dostoevsky's subtle linguistic and nationalist humour, and the copious notes are indispensable for making one's way through the thicket of 19th-century Russian politics
Kirkus Reviews
An outstanding achievement
John Bayley
As close to Dostoevsky's Russian as is possible in English
