This was a very good book although it was hard to get into but if you are willing to take the time to read it then you might enjoy it
Dostoyevsky is my favorite author and this is without a doubt my favorite of his novels. The character of Raskolnikov, in addition to being a prophetic archetype of the Marxist or Nietzcheian "superman" compels you to sympathize with him as he seeks to arbitrate his own justice by killing a woman and then facing the consequences of his own guilt and condemnation as a result.
