Mõjus tükk. Kõndisin kogu lugemise aja ise ka kergelt neurootilisena ringi. Üks tärn jäi mõningate liiga vahtu täis ja tüütuseni venivate olukordade juurde maha.

Great book about the aftermath of committing a crime and the alienation from society... I felt bad for Raskolnikov even though he was stupid and prideful.  I think the book also says a lot about what it means to be a human; we do things that don't make any logical sense because we have creating some weird internal reasoning. Rodya's genius plan doesn't hold up and a more primal guilt and fear takes hold. Though the book does speed up in pace, it was still a bit too slow for my taste.

Not a big fan of classics, but it was ok.
