This was my first Dostojevsky. This book was honestly so much more interesting than I anticipated! I thought there wouldn’t really be a plot beside the murder but I was pleasantly suprised that the different threads of the story kept connecting as the story unfolded. I found the writing style absolutely brilliant and look forward to read more Dostojevsky! At times, this story was heartbreaking and also made me contemplate about many hard topics. Another thing I didnt expect at all, was that sometimes the dialogues were actually really funny! Raskolnikov’s character was also very intriguing, I tried to understand his split personality and moods, and also found the psychological aspects of the book extraordinary! Thank you Mr Dostoevsky for writing this important and intriguing novel! 
(5⭐️ for now, might change it later if I find one of his books even closer to my heart!)
