Great book, AMAZING narrator

I can't say much about the book that's already been said. It's a fantastic book with an incredibly intriguing protagonist who's jaded character keeps the book interesting till the last minute.

But the true hallmark of this piece is the narrator. his enthusiasm is fantastic and his voice modulation adds a depth to each character far more than I could have imagined. Kudos

Brilliant

I've been on the edge of my seat for the past few weeks owing to this gem of a book. "Crime and Punishment"- Given the cult status of the book, I was sure it would be something, however I was under an impression that it'd be a hard read as many of the classics are. But boy, was I wrong. It is as gripping as it is profound. Fyodor Dostoevsky has all the twists and turns in his masterpiece, many of them occur in the minds and thoughts of his brilliantly written characters. Their convictions and doubts; their fears and dominance speak volumes about Dostoevsky's genius. They say great books are timeless; this one, definitely is.
And I should give a special mention to the greatest narrator ever. Anthony Heald has filled all the characters with life. I can now only think of the characters in his voice. He should be given all the awards for outstanding narration, if there are any :)

What a narration!

The amazing narration lead to unplanned binging. A classic novel. Be patient to get to the core and then it's a breeze through. I recommend the audiobook version for this.
