I’m so sorry but I did not enjoy reading this, it took forever! If it wasn’t a classic i’d rate it lower. Although for being written in the 1800s it was really good.

De los mejores clásicos que he leído. Te describe la pobreza, la desgracia, la locura, la obsesión y la culpa de un modo muy crudo y particular que, a su vez, hace que la inocencia y el amor brillen de una forma especial. El crimen de Raskólnikov presenta unas características tan extraordinarias que te enganchan enseguida sus motivos, su miedo posterior, sus reflexiones sobre el crimen y, sobre todo, la forma tan tierna en la que se redime a sí mismo al final. Me esperaba un libro bastante más duro de leer, pero te lo terminas sin ser consciente.
Pacing is a bit odd in this book as Dostoyevsky seems to play with plodding plots/maniacal monologues/tension building in contrast with sudden bursts of action/violence. While it shows writerly range, a 600 page book maybe could’ve had a bit less of the slow bits. Overall though, great themes, wonderful descriptions, very complex characters, and an impressive web of characters and motives and plot. Almost reads like a play at times with very cinematic moments in which St. Petersburg suddenly feels small and certain characters bypass others on bridges/streets as if the city were condensed onto a single stage.
