>i think it has one of the best portrayals of the devil"
wtf does she no the devi?
How can she say that?
>>
>>9794082
what, is she refering to the grand inquisitor as the devil? if so, then it's not really fantastic to believe; that chapter is the book's most famous, and that quip has been said before.

i would have been more impressed if she said, "yeah, i like how d-stoy focused on a group of kids after that wild chapter when dmitri got arrested. what a narrative genius—right, customer?"

First time I laughed all day.

Also, I can't tell if you're all making the same stupid joke or if you all legit believe there was any devil in this book. Wasn't that the second coming of Christ?
