Never fall asleep in the midst of a murder!

In lieu of insightful, comedic, or hell, I would have even taken sappy, I was granted horrifying, horrifying, horrifying. Imagine for a moment the following things: having somebody repeatedly strike you in the face,seeming somebody you greatly dislike naked, your boyfriend's father crying, your boyfriend near death, and your own father stabbing himself. Now try hard to neatly thread that together and visualize my dream. I mean, nightmare. Minutes before, I had dozed off one-hundred and forty-three pages into the terror and distress of what is the life of Rodia Raskolnikov. Thank you Dostoevsky! Beginning this book (Crime And Punishment) , I was quite fearful that boredom would overcome my mind and I would immediately become disinterested. What a shame that I thought this to begin with! Those vague ideas of what an agonizing and unbearable book this is? Bullshit! Crime and Punishment has a distinctively tasteful plot, it reads elegantly and is written brilliantly. In the most unexpected and terrifying way, I am in love with this book.
