Pros

  • Crime and punishment
  • Among the Russians, Dostoevsky (*Crime and Punishment*, *The Brothers Karamazov*, *Notes from Underground*) and Tolstoy (*Anna Karenina*, *The Death of Ivan Ilyich*) left a strong impression.
  • Recently read Crime and Punishment again-amazing book.
  • This novel is totally worthy of its immortal status. It’s an unsparing portrayal of 19th century St. Petersburg society. It’s bleak, harrowing, and depressing, and you won’t be able to put it down.
  • If you haven't read *The Stranger* by Albert Camus or *Crime and Punishment* by Dostoyevsky, I highly recommend them!

Cons

  • I just got to page 215 on Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky in under 3 weeks, but it's been an exhausting read due to its thematic and conceptual density, so much to the point that I've decided to temporarily drop it (and restart it) an...
  • You are very smart not to read Crime and Punishment right now, because it is a very dark book.
  • I was considering Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment since I’ve heard it’s profound, but I’m worried it might put me in a darker mindset (which I’m already kind of in right now).
  • I took Crime and Punishment with me on my travel, barely cracked it open, and yet it felt like I was lugging around a corpse lol
  • Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevski Though its not a very positive description

I just got to page 215 on Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky in under 3 weeks, but it's been an exhausting read due to its thematic and conceptual density, so much to the point that I've decided to temporarily drop it (and restart it) and check it later again with a fresh mind.
