Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky
challenging
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Loveable characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I've already read the large majority of the rest of Dostoevsky's works and already knew that I don't like his writing and narrative style. I pushed through Crime and Punishment for it's place in literary canon, and that was a mistake. I absolutely despise this man's writing. I won't rate the book, because I don't think it's overtly bad literature and it doesn't deserve my horrible rating. Dostoevsky's writing and my taste just seem to be mutually exclusive.
