actually worth a read, only downside is that  you have to make a cheat sheet to remember the character’s Russian names

It's definitely a very good book, extremely well written and I was amazed at the characters and the way their personalities were built as the story moved foward. It is, however, a long book and has a heavy story (not in any particularly gory or triggering way, apart from the obvious, just a lot going on at the same time). Due to a few circumstances I read this in a hurry and that made me overwhelmed especially from the middle to the end, because of that I feel like I couldn't really enjoy the book to its full potential. I definitely think it is worth reading but I'd need to re-read to properly process it

If your copy of Crime and Punishment is not battered and bruised and dog eared, did you even read it?
