4.5* rounded up. this was so good?? i know crime and punishment is referred to as one of the greatest pieces of russian literature (and indeed, global literature) of all time, but still. you never really know with the classics whether they're going to be too opaque, too long, too slow. but that was far from the case here, and i had an incredible time sinking my teeth into crime and punishment.

Raskolnikov’s greatest crime in the context of this book is not the murder (which is repeatedly justified in text by the old woman’s greed amidst great poverty) but his horrendous behavior towards his only friend. Literally what does Razumikhin get for his beneficence and loyalty except more responsibilities and trouble??
