Title: Mannered, misleading translation
Review: I didn't last long with this translation, which, for example, substituted "Mr. Karamazov" for Dostoevski's more accurate and tonally appropriate "Fyodor Pavlovitch"; and "Mr. Miusov" for "Pyotr Alexandrovitch" (in a direct speech, distorting the implied relationship between the speaker and addressee). Translators sometimes need to make tough decisions, but these two examples were no brainers. MacAndrews got both wrong.
