I wish I could have encountered this book in some kind of academic setting because I know there's so many layers I'm not understanding on a first reading. What surprised me most about this was how easy and engaging it was, I was genuinely shocked by how engrossed I became. I really loved how much Dostoevsky makes you sympathise with Rodya. He's completely pathetic in a lot of ways, but because the community that rallies around him genuinely cares for him you find yourself becoming part of that group, hoping along with Razumikhin, Sonya, and Dunya that this boy will get himself together.

I understand that this text is a classic. I understand it is also originally written in Russian. But this was really not a read for me. I felt it really dragged on and I still question how much he really feels bad for his crime. I feel he spiralled but not for reasons he should have
