When Prince Myshkin talks about the execution he saw at Lyons.

Yes. Reading that turned me from being a proponent of the death penalty to a firm opponent of it.

I thought the whole thing was good. Have you read Don Quixote before starting this?

No should I have? I did like the execution part but this just hasnt got me hooked like The Brothers Karamzov and Crime and Punishment

I loved the first part of the book. How he arrives on the train with rogozhin and lebedev and then heads to the general's house and that dramatic ending with the money in the fire, both hilarious and serious.
