A review by selbyr
Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky
5.0
My motivation to read this book is so I can ask my friends, family, acquaintances, and random strangers “Hey, have you read Crime and Punishment?” Or even better, during a conversation I can say “in Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment, he says…” and then I can smile smugly with deep satisfaction. Dear friends, I know this sounds like it’s meant to be humorous, but it’s also true. And being true to myself is part of my journey
As for my review of this book, WHO am I to review this book? It’s 5 stars. Saying it’s less than 5 stars is like saying Willie Mays isn’t a Hall of Famer (one voter did). Or the Beatles are overrated. This book is 5 stars. It’s beyond 5 stars. It’s ridiculous how awesome this book is. Why do Russian authors kick so much ass? Why do they cram more depth in 600 pages than anyone else? I don’t get it, but I love it.
In summary, read this book.
