A review by remjunior
Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky, Charles W. Goddard
4.0
This is what I would call accessible classic literature and would recommend to young adults or anyone else that wants to read a classic that isn't *too long*, is easy to understand, and has a lot of depth in terms of the themes and philosophy.
Great book--not much more to say. It was easy to read, although there were some parts in the middle that were a bit of a slog and were kind of confusing (mostly because I was listening and zoned out because characters were just rambling). Overall, I like the questions that are ultimately posed: is it OK to do something wrong for a greater good? Is the mental, emotional, and spiritual toll of committing a horrible crime worse than the physical punishment? Does forgiveness exist?
Excellent book.
