Finally I finished read ing it

I am definitely glad that I chose to read this book again! I noticed many details that I do not remember from the first time that I read it. Since I had just finished re-reading Notes from the Underground before starting Crime and Punishment, it was interesting to see the parallels between Raskolnikov and the Underground Man. However, Raskolnikov gets an end full of redemption and optimism, while the Underground Man does not. I l0ok forward to continuing to read Dostoevsky's works to study the development of the Underground Man.

Este es otro de los grandes clásicos de la literatura que me han vencido. Probablemente sea la rica vida interior de su personaje, esas conversaciones consigo mismo, esos desvarios... los que han acabado resultándome pesados. Tampoco ha ayudado el ambiente asfisiante que rodea a este personaje y que supongo tan bien retrata los suburbios de la Rusia de aquella época, a pesar de que la idea de que la novela transcurriese en un espacio de tiempo y físico limitado me resultaba atractivo.
No es para mi y dudo que el haberlo leído en inglés haya ayudado en nada.

Today I read the last twenty pages because I had enough time to do it, and I am still spending time in the story.

This story made me think about the deep and struggle of the murderer's mind, and in addition real murderers' one, there are really many serious and brutal crimes around the world, which we can never understand the motives only in the press. Many Real crimes also are not connection between the victims and murderer.

The causes and motives that underlie of the mind of murderer. If we understand and sympathize them, I wonder can our society find out the ways to reduce crimes.

One of the best novels that I read on crime. How beautifully put the never endin scraps of thought going in Raskolikov in words.
