Crime and Punishment

This was interesting, basically, the main character is this young man who is studying law and he is in debt and stuff to this old wicked woman. So he decided killing her would be good for everyone as there's one less parasite for Russia. And he does but then he lives with that burden the whole time acting like crazy, worrying everyone, and is in high-stress mode all the time. He is kind in his heart and his decision wasn't that egoistic as he worries and cares a lot about his family especially his sister who is willing to marry this rich, evil man just so they have money. So the story is basically contemporary with some killings, crimes, and suicide. The characters mostly have good intentions even if they don't seem so. It's an interesting take on if committing a crime is a crime if it was for good and stuff. I actually enjoyed it even though names were confusing as they were pretty similar... Rodia was a very complex and interesting character! Oh, and it's also very focused on religion and God as the way Rodia feels better is through that and many people keep mentioning to pray to God so he forgives his sins. It's an old book but it was pleasant to read!
