ocie 's review for:

White Nights by Fyodor Dostoevsky
3.75
emotional sad fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I don't necessarily think the story is the point. Rather, the exploration of self and loneliness, woven into a narrative that makes you stop and consider what it is to be alone as a communal creature. 

I give the prose 5/5 stars, but the story was difficult to get through.
