DID NOT FINISH: 41%

I could not stand the main characters internal inner monologues, beating a horse to death, any of the side characters, the plot, the background descriptions, the word choices. Could not even stand the few things I liked because I hated the rest of it so much!

Started reading it to become able to say that I've read Crime and Punishment, now I can say I dropped Crime and Punishment half-way through
