Crime & Punishment...a must read
Have always wanted to read this book but was put off by the number of pages. So glad I took the plunge. What a great book. It is deep, but so beautifully written...guess that's why it's a classic. Loved the book so much I intend on reading it again. Highly recommend it.Ver másVer menos

Crime & Punishment (No Spoiler) review.
(No Spoilers) Crime and Punishment is the first work by Dostoyevsky that I've ever read. It is a poignant story of Raskolnikov's fall into torment and madness. Dostoyevsky is such a master at bringing his characters and their struggles to life.

Unique writing style, great story
What I love about the classics is each author has a unique writing style, and Dostoyevsky is no exception. Most of the story unfolds through lengthy (and sometimes excessively verbose) dialogue, but I grew to really like it by the end of the book. Very unique.Ver másVer menos

No piece of literature has gone as deep into the thematic material as this one
Product Quality: My new copy came in close to Excellent, not perfect. There were about 4 or 5 visible marks, the ink quality was perfect, and thin pages that are expected of penguin classics. Not a perfectly new copy but what is ought to be valued is the story inside.Translatition and Notes Review: Since I started and finished reading this version as a high school freshman, this translation is excellent and my preferred and recommended one. The notes are outstanding with accurate and intriguing details about references in the book.Story Review: This book is the Bible of fiction/historical fiction after The Iliad, a masterpiece that is commonly valued by the giants of fiction literature. Spoiler: It is a slow paced masterpiece that describes a man (Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov) that has killed humans and has to live with it. After I read this book, I never saw the world the same. Dostoyevsky’s literary figures are so incredible that metaphors are sometimes stretched across multiple pages. The first book that made me really sense and imagine things with Fyodor’s precise descriptions. Parts like the end of the third part made me shiver and have anxiety and others had me at the edge of my seat. This literary document has gone the deepest into thematic material than any other and deserves a perfect 10/10 as my favorite book of all time.Ver másVer menos

A Classic That Makes You Think
Some classics are difficult to get through, but Crime and Punishment is one that stays with you. I appreciate books that explore the complexity of human nature, guilt, and redemption, and this one does it brilliantly.The characters are memorable, the story is thought provoking, and the themes are just as relevant today as they were when it was written. If you enjoy books that challenge you and leave you reflecting long after you've finished the last page, this is definitely worth reading.Ver másVer menos

A towering work of criminal psychology
It's seldom that I root for the evildoer of a novel or movie, but Dostoyevsky definitely had me doing it with "Crime and Punishment". Early in the novel, impoverished student Raskolnikov murders two innocent older women in order to make a quick buck (and also for deeper reasons revealed later in the novel). We then accompany Raskolnikov through the tumultuous aftermath, during which his feelings towards his evil deed revolve between complete indifference, intense guilt, and a rational desire to hide from the law. A formal investigation by the city, led by the effusive and enigmatic detective Porfiry Petrovich, comprises much of the novel.It's interesting that by a couple hundred pages following the murders, I'd begun to stop thinking of Raskolnikov as an evildoer but rather as someone who was simply insane half the time. At some point I began to sympathize with him and by the end of the novel I was positively rooting for him to escape apprehension and punishment. This is a testament to Dostoyevsky's skill at rendering his characters' thoughts and beliefs so well that the reader internalizes them to some degree.I found the Penguin edition translated by David McDuff to be very readable, not stilted at all like I'd heard that many translations of Dostoyevsky into English can be. In addition to many humorous turns of phrase that came through fine in the translation, dialogue in general seemed to flow naturally. The sense of oppressive gloom so prevalent in Dostoyevsky's works seemed to also be faithfully replicated by McDuff, as was Dostoyevsky's detached matter-of-fact style of narration. Of course, it's difficult to remain cheerful when reading about murder and people driven to desperate measures because of the abject poverty they're in.A must read for fans of serious fiction prepared to step away from the lighthearted for a while!Ver másVer menos
