Title: Take time for the Classics!
Review: I took some time off from modern reading to read Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment. What a ride! It turned out to be a brilliant treatise into the mind of anapparent psychopath, but may just be any one of us who decides to play God. The characters are brought to life wonderfully by Dostoevsky and their personalities will be recognizable to you. The entangling of the main character's justification for his crime with the psychological drama of his daily life and of those around him, will draw you in and having you asking big questions of your own conscience. The story was written during pre-communist Russia. This provides a great addition to the storyline - a time and place of transition of a historically Christian society into the post-modern world where God is an abstract crutch or doesn't exist at all. You will enjoy this psychological thriller, and probably like me, kick yourself for not reading it before.R
