    Simply: this book is truly a masterpiece. It is a sincere and realistic representation of inner-struggle, as by the erratic and unpredictable temperament of the central character Raskolnikov--not only of the conflict between guilt and pride (resulting from the murders he commits in the name of unadulterated reason), but also of something deeper: above all, what is the balance between faith and reason in our lives (and the dangers of having none)? When do we follow our reason, and when our heart? Specifically: can murder ever be "justified"? <br />These questions are central especially today: an extraordinary accomplishment by Dostoyevsky in creating an absolutely, almost painfully, real character, who represents the culmination of the past and future of human's formidable amibitions.

    Picked it up. Put it down. Picked it up. Put it down. I don't know if I'll ever finish reading it. Makes me so depressed that I had to drop it in self-defence. I can't do this.

  • It just gets darker and darker, and the main character's physical mind is somehow in a very troubled state...didn't like the unpleasant feeling, I guess that's what happens when you read a russian author???

    Although I must admit I had a hard time reading this book (such lengthy monologues and dialogues!), it is overall an impressive novel, a provocative classic full of raw power. If you like novels that dwell on their protagonist's inner turmoil, then read Crime and Punishment. You can hardly get a character more disturbed and tumultuous than Raskolnikov. It really felt like one had weathered a tempest upon finishing the novel.
