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

I know this is a classic and hailed as a great literary achievement… but I just wasn’t feeling it. 

Raskolnikov murders two women, hailing himself a hero. He believes the world will be a better place, even though things hadn't gone according to plan. As time goes on, deep-seated guilt slowly takes him over, especially as suspicion arises. 

For a book nearly 700 pages long, there isn't a lot of action or much of anything interesting in general. Maybe it was profound for its time, but I found it painfully boring compared to other books with similar themes. Part one was promising enough but then the rest of the book droned on. It just wasn't for me.
