A review by grant_volpe
Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky

5.0

Certainly one of the most challenging books I’ve read. The depth at which you dive into each character’s mind and intentions can sometimes seem pointless but is ultimately crucial to the plot. I enjoyed the bits of political commentary and nihilist criticism that related to the time the book was written. I’d recommend this book to anyone who feels like they need a break from predictable/boring fiction. But not for anyone who has a short attention span or isn’t willing to do some sparknoting/googling to get the full understanding of what’s going on in every chapter and the symbolism behind it.
