Crime and Punishment
201 Installments
A man wonders if there’s any morality in the world and murders his landlady with an axe to find out. What follows is the intimate tale of a murder, as beautiful as it is terrifying. Good and evil, depravity and redemption, dauntless detectives and gold-hearted prostitutes – it’s amazing they wanted you to have this much fun in high school English.

I thought this book was very difficult to follow. I read half of the book trying to give it a good try before I abandoned it. The main character and his way of thinking during his illness was annoying. The story would often go off in tangents that were unnecessary. So many people love this book , I feel bad not liking it .

Well written and excellent pacing. The problem is there are no relatable characters and the overall story is depressing.

A psychological and dramatic Russian classic which I read as the first of four Dostoyevsky books along with an online blog, Project D. The daily blog posts kept me reading at a steady pace and added critique and commentary as we went along. Although this was not nearly as difficult a read as Proust, which this same group did in 2010, I still found it helpful and more interesting to be part of the group read. Next week we'll begin The Idiot.

Thought-Provoking Literature for the Ambitious Reader
I would not recommend this book as a casual beach read, unless this beach happens to remind you of oppressive class systems, struggling morality, and commons motives for murder; in which case, this book will match the scenery nicely.Silliness aside, this is a book that is best when you take the time to consider about the imagery and messages Dostoevksy puts into Crime and Punishment. There's a lot to think about.
