Dostoevsky has a strange style, a strange language! All characters express themselves using the same language. His characters act original and eventually you get used to it and the originality becomes trivial. He was throwing away the most serious problems by mixing them with romantic matters.
You must be prepared that your son will want to live a different life. I advise you to expect it. It is a mistake to want to organize other people's lives, even if they are our children. Among other prejudices from which humanity suffers is the organization of other people's lives, on which the state is based, any government, social-revolutionary activity, and even the arrangement in the smallest details of our children's lives. We must strive to free ourselves from the desire to organize others. If I really want to organize others, I easily fall into the temptation of using violence. I want to free myself from the desire to organize.

Today I read part of the Sermon on the Mount. There's a lot more stuff, it's hard to read. It is written worse than Dostoyevsky. In the four Gospels they found less absurdities than in the rest, and made them Holy Scripture. Bible worship is idolatry of words, of text.
Please remember that there are many other people besides Leo Tolstoy.
