My first Dostoevsky book!

The thing I liked about this (but it was also creepy, and thriller-vibes) were getting a glimpse of Raskolnikov's downfall with his psychological thoughts, dreams, and actions, eventually testing himself and his words. The comparison between Raskolnikov and Svidrigailov was also a great way to look at consequences and ways of "redemption". Though, both were creepy in their own ways *sweat* Some parts I struggled with and kind of skimmed due to very long paragraphs or dialogues. I appreciated this translated version - maybe one day I can pick up a different one and compare!
