I finally finished this a week ago, even though it was assigned for school.
It was really well-written and well thought out, though it was the length and the massive cast of characters that made it difficult.
It’s a classic, though I felt that Dostoevsky added a lot of superfluous subplot (Svidrigailov, basically) to make things more exciting in a serialized novel format, but otherwise the main plot about Raskolnikov’s murder of an old pawnbroker and his subsequent guilt was exciting at the start, slow in the middle, and riveting at the end.
Rating: Why hasn’t this been adapted into a movie within the past 5 years?
