Dostoyevsky wrote perhaps the best fiction I have ever read. This is perhaps the only 5 star rating I have ever given, so that should speak volumes.
I had a tough time getting through this book, but it was worth the effort.
I read about 1/2 this book but got bogged down by the yellow flower wall paper. uggg.
This is the kind of book whose reputation intimidates readers from picking it up. It's an easy read though, and everyone should read it at least once! It's suspenseful and incredibly human and relateable. You can also totally pretend that the narrator has a russian accent in your head.
ahhh dostoyevsky (or dostoevsky as it is also written) is something else. i do sometimes get lost in the details and i admit to skipping pages at a time, but with crime and punishment i did not. it's pretty unforgettable once you read it.
