Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Title: Crime and Punishment

Author:  Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Review:  Crime and Punishment is a shockingly stellar book. I'll begin with my criticisms; the Russian names are hard to pronounce… Now on to the praise, Dostoyevsky explores multiple intersecting themes and points woven throughout the story: The danger of rational practicality unhinged from a moral law, the consequences of the “extraordinary man” applied, and salvation through humility and willing acceptance of suffering as transformation. There’s so much more I could say, so I’ll leave with this: 9.5/10, a truly remarkable read.
