I finally finished this after a year 😭😭 I’m so happy that I managed it. I’m glad I had the experience of reading it but wow it was a lot and I don’t know if I’d recommend it

While I did enjoy myself while reading this, it quickly became repetitive. After a couple hundred pages the endless psychological breakdown of the book's antihero, Raskolnikov, becomes boring. The book's ending, additionally, felt anticlimactic and ultimately seemed to convey a peculiar message to the reader, which I didn't take very well to.
