A review by schinko94
Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky

4.0

This book is such an interesting examination of ethics. In Russian, the verb "to commit a crime" literally translates into English as "to cross the line," and the entire book centers around the question of when it is okay to do just that. On top of that, Raskolnikov is a complete madman, and I LOVE it. Such an interesting character. The only reason I give it four stars is because literary analysis from a professor or teacher is helpful while reading this book (thus making it difficult to read on one's own).
