I will try to write a review of this intriguing work. This is my first Dostoyevsky novel. It was hard to understand at first. The writing style and the names were difficult to get familiar with. However, by part three I was all in and extremely fascinated by what was unfolding in front of me. It is a brilliant study of human behavior. I found Raskolnikov's torment to be familiar and horrifying. Anyone who has lived with a dark secret can understand and sympathize. I also found the human trait to classify and deem your standing before others heartbreaking and again familiar. I think I will read sections of the book again, but not the whole. It was a hard read for me due to the numerous names and the lengthy conversations. However, this is a literary classic and books like these are not just finished. They are thought over, pondered, discussed and become a sort of descriptive language for various times in your life.
