Primera vez leyendo literatura rusa, y podría decir que odie cada segundo q gaste leyendo el libro.  Es muy lento y no de una buena manera (Jane Austen me parece una escritora que logra esto de una manera espectacular). Le di dos estrellas porque encontré  partes que fueron atrapantes, aunque fueron pocas. La edición que compre era muy mala y creo q eso sumo a que no me guste el libro, compre el libro por internet sin saber que era tan chiquito y las letras estaban tan comprimidas, capaz en otras circunstancias el libro me hubiera gustado mas. Igualmente entiendo porque llego a ser un clásico  tan importante de la literatura rusa.

5.0

I honestly, don’t even know where to begin with this book, I don’t think I’ll be able to make a cohesive review cause there was SO much to take in but this book was AMAZING, I was most definitely intimidated by the font and the page size but once you get into it, you get completely lost in the story, some may consider this a slow paced read... and it is, but the plot and the themes or religion, consciousness, crime and what it means to bring justice, what would happen if humanity thought they were above crime, it tackles those themes so well that you don’t feel like you are reading a 656 page worth of a book. 5/5!!
