 While "The Idiot" doesn't quite reach the heights of the Big Two, it's still very good, especially the set-pieces- just in the beginning, the scene on the train, the scene where Prince Myshkin meets The Yepanchin family, and of course at Nastasya Fillipovna's house. "The Devils/The Possessed" is also great.

I think he's my all-time favorite writer and I think I'll read all of his books now. So far I don't like The Idiot better than either Crime and Punishment or Brothers Karamazov, but I'm only a quarter of the way into it and I like it quite a bit.
