Profile on Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

written by margaret licup

Genre: Crime, Psychological Fiction, Classics.

3 words to describe the book: Thrilling, Exhausting, Intense.

1 sentence to describe how you felt when you finished it: Crime and Punishment ends on a very melancholic tone, with the ending neither happy nor sad - it is a renewal for the protagonist and the mind of the reader.

Strength: I rather liked how Dostoyevsky wrote the turmoil and mania of Raskolnikov. The audience is constantly kept on edge by his narrative considering it is difficult to determine whether the protagonist is at risk of being caught or if it is just his increasing paranoia triggering his fear.

Weakness: Yeah, I get that it was to show his declining mental and physical state, but can Raskolnikov stop fainting. I could see why someone would get tired of counting how many times the guy collapses and has to get nursed back to health by his simp-bro.

Why you’d recommend the book: Judging from the author, you can already tell this book is well written. I mean, it’s Dostoyevsky. As an added bonus, there’s stuff about murder in it which is always great to have.
