Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky

★★ CRIME AND PUNISHMENT : A SPECIAL EDITION! There was a time in my life when I couldn't get enough of reading Dostoevsky. Maybe because his books made me think so deeply about being human and how we choose to live our lives. I began with Crime and Punishment, probably the work he is best known for. What I remember is being fascinated by Dostoevsky's brilliant understanding of human nature. I remember thinking what a deep study this book was; an incredible examination of a man who commits murder and how he is "punished" for it. I remember thinking that here was a master storyteller. Not only able to create complex characters, but able to take the reader deeply inside a character's mind. Best of all, I remember that I would stop reading periodically and think; not a mindless read, but an absorbing one. You absolutely cannot miss this edition of the book. It's a masterpiece to read and collect along with your favorite books.
