A review by elreyturco
Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky

2.0

Since I was a kid, Dostoyevsky was an author that was glorified even by those who didn't read him. However, I might disagree about the depth of this novel. Raskolnikov is a petty character whose ideas shouldn't be praised or followed, and in no case used as excuses for any kind of crime. The "common-ness" of his ideas and the baneful explanation that he gives to justify it make the novel superficial, horrible.
