I was disappointed, considering the concept looked interesting and it starred Jesse Eisenberg, who I’ve always loved in other movies. It was weird, the ending didn’t make any sense, and it was so boring that I almost fell asleep. The first time I watched The Double, I thought it was complete nonsense. I actually saw the movie first, which inspired me to read the book, so I’ll be discussing them in that order. The novella was adapted into a movie of the same name, which was released in 2011 and stars Jesse Eisenberg. If it doesn’t sound familiar, you aren’t alone: his writing style is notorious for being dense and tiresome to read, meaning you won’t find his works on any coffee tables. If the name sounds familiar, you’ve probably read Crime and Punishment, arguably one of his most popular works. The Double is a short novella originally written by Fyodor Dostoevsky, first published in 1846.
