A review by clarissaagatha
Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky

4.0

Raskolnikov is a complex character and a well-written protagonist. His head is all messed up and his thoughts are jumbled. An intellectual man with a dual side of personality. He's capable killing someone but he's able to show compassion and love. He struggle to keep up with his own belief but at some point his guilt eat him alive. We are invited to swim through his dark, deepest thought and feel absorbed with it. In the end, he shows remorse and take his journey to redemption. We are all "Raskolnikov", sometimes we justify our own action although we know exactly that we're at fault.

I'm not going to write a long review (or maybe I'm going to add some later on) for this book, I think everyone has to read this masterpiece.
