AP Literature Summer Session

Well when I read the back of this book it seemed like it wouldn't be that bad of a summer read. I was proven wrong. I feel asleep within the first page. But I knew I had to push through and it actually is getting better. I think as of right now my favorite character in the book is Gregory. He seems to the be the only person in the book who really cared for the children, and he certainly did not have to. My least favorite character is the same as everyone else, Fyodor, the father. He's obviously a horribly, selfish, drunken father who doesn't care about anyone but himself. Although he does show some affection to one of his children when he lets Alyosha, the youngest son, join the monastery. It was still part of his own selfish drive because he wanted somebody to pray for him and tell him about the afterlife. I'm kind of interested to see what happens in the rest of the book, unless the whole story is filled with as many selfish people as the first book was.
