Spark Notes

Reading the spark notes of the Brothers K. is like drinking grape juice instead of fine wine.

Like watching the film "Smooth Talk" instead of reading "Where Are You Going Where Have You Been".

Like being paid in Monopoly money after a 40-hour work week instead of the real thing.

It's just not as rewarding, and is a water-down attempt to explain the message Dostoevsky was trying to convey.
