A book review

I throughly enjoyed reading "Crime and punishment". It is a novel and was written by Fyodor Dostoevsky. While reading this book I was able to face with a old Russia and old Saint Petersburg, feel the mood of people who was leaving about 200 years ago.

The story is set in Raskolnikovs hypothesis that some people are naturally capable of, and even have the right to do, such things, but also there are people, who are trembling creature. Raskolnikov refers him to naturally capable people.

The plot centres on the mental anguish and moral dilemmas of Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov, an impoverished ex-student in St. Petersburg who formulates and executes a plan to kill an unscrupulous pawnbroker for her cash. He also commits this murder to to test his own hypothesis that some people are naturally capable of, and even have the right to do, such things.

The thing I liked best was about how Raskolnikov feels after murder. In my opinion deeply in his soul he undrestood that it only damaged his morale.

My only criticism of the book is that it is too big and takes too much time to read it.

I would recommend it because "Crime and punishment" is a classics of Russian Literature.
