dark funny inspiring reflective tense medium-paced

4.25

I found it really funny which I don't think I am supposed to... Raskolnikov is lowkey relatable in that he is about to faint at any moment in this book. There were also some really intense scenes which were *chef's kiss* and yeah... a lot of philosophical ideas about man and his superiority complex. Not as great as seeing my boi Raskolnikov on the verge of fainting every second but still interesting.

Melancholy, lots of ruminating. Ending was very rushed and slapped-on. Did not enjoy reading and overall very unhappy.

It took a while to get through it and follow the events especially since the amount of different names all the characters had made it even more complicated. I'm very glad I read it though and I did like the way and tone the story was told in, very distant and blunt I'd say. I'm not sure I completely got the point and the moral of the story but I did get something out of it.

The first part of the book was very slow and drawn out. However, the final couple of chapters really redeemed the book.
