However, I don't know how accurate it is, how much research Dostoevsky did.
And also I wish we knew the narrator. At first I thought it was Raskolnikov from the future looking back, but it's not. And then I don't understand why there seemed to be inconsistencies in it. Raskolnikov thought of one thing, we didn't see him follow it through and then it was just done.

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.
