Crime and Punishment
Fyodor Dostoevsky's Masterpiece. "It takes something more than intelligence to act intelligently" - Avdotya Romanovna Raskolnikov (Dunya)
A challenging book, but one that rewards those that give it a chance. Dostoevsky's masterpiece about a Russian student who plans and executes a murder, seemingly without any remorse. He is an intellectual afterall. Then spends most of the book descending into painful depression, guilt and anxiety over the crime.

Hey You Guys!!!!
Who remembers learning about phonics on a children's show known as 'The Electric Company"? Back in the seventies on PBS there was an educational show by this name that had famous actors like Rita Moreno and Morgan Freeman and a few others too. This was a show that taught us the rules of phonics and sounding out letters and words. There were fun skits live and animated throughout the show showing and telling each skill. There were lessons on blends as well as on hard and soft sounds. This show made learning to read fun. This was one show that I watched, I believe made me a reader for life for just see for now I am a book reviewer.

I started the book at the beginning of the summer and have yet to finish it :(. It’s only cuz I read every page like 7 times. There is so much depth in every word and thought, I would hate to miss it! Definitely a rewarding read.
Need to read this. Never knew the plot, exactly, beyond the title. You crafted this review so well, and I just know that the book will reflect what you showed here: the humanity in even a horrendous act. Well done, my friend.
OH MY I have wanted to read this forever!
Great critique here Paul! I love the subtitle quote also ✨🙏
Another I want to read! Excellent critique and glad you found it worthwhile! We both just did classic Russian authors! Haha. Great minds think alike! 😁
Ah. Now I see why you like it. Good critique! 👍💙😊
