4.5

This is an incredible book that I think everyone should read at least once in their life. It challenges the reader and makes them question their own understanding of right and wrong as well as faith and humanity. It is both disturbing and inspiring as the reader follows Raskolnikov’s journey through righteousness damnation acceptance and eventual redemption. highly recommend.
