It took me a while to really get into the book, hence why it took me so long to finish it. This was my first Dostoevsky book which is why when I started reading Crime and Punishment I found it rather confusing and did not really understand what was going on. This is probably due to me not being fully open to the book being different and in my opinion a rather hard read. However after putting Crime and Punishment aside for a few months and starting anew when I had the time for reading something harder and different I really got into Dostoevskys Style of writing and I started to enjoy the experience of reading this book. I would say while reading I found this book quite unsettling and maybe even upsetting since it tackles very heavy topics. However I personally was a great fan of the ending, during certain parts where Dostoevsky was simply yapping away I was getting a little bit bored but pushing through those parts was very rewarding since the ending is where everything actually comes together.
