The Gambler

It's been a while since I read something by Dostoevsky and this rather short novel didn't disappoint. Powerful and intense narration combined with interesting characters! Written from his classic first person point of view, Dostoevsky sheds light on gambling addiction and takes us inside the mind of a roulette gambler. The book explores a lot of other themes about human nature, along with addiction and delves into the very soul of the protagonist. I borrowed the audiobook from the local library via Libby and it was my first audiobook experience. Would surely recommend!
