Powerful (journey to the mind in a few days, more dramatic than millennia saga), suspenseful (more so than mystery thriller), tragic for each character (I'm more sympathetic towards elder and "philandering" Svidrigailov than young and precocious Raskolnikov, equally touched by Katerina as Sofya), insightful to reveal each layer of human nature ("dull" figures Luzhin and Porfiry, representative of the ordinary, conventional wisdom and ruling authority, shine, along with the protagonist.). A true masterpiece rarely seen in contemporary literature.
