Often considered one of the first ever psychological thrillers, Crime and Punishment is a gripping tale of a poverty-stricken young man in Saint Petersburg, Russia, who hatches a plan to kill someone for money. Once the deed is done, he finds himself racked with guilt, confusion and disgust for his act.

In this new recording, Will Poulter (Detroit, Midsommar, The Maze Runner) gives new life to the troubled protagonist, Rodion Raskolnikov, in a performance that will have you questioning where we draw the line between right and wrong.

The author masterfully brings out frailty of human mind. It also gave me an idea about Russian life in past days.

If not for William Poulter’s narration, I would not have completed this book. Some of the parts in the book seem slow and tedious but Poulter’s narration got me through. His distinct character voices and accents make it interesting. If you plan to start on this book, listen to this audio version.

I did not expect this book by a 200 year old Russian writer to be so interesting read. I just picked up this classic, turned out to be an amazing read.

The scenes and characters just teleport you to St. Petersburg from 1850s. And specifically to the room to the conversation to the specific moment and the emotion. You can feel it you can totally see it happening score your eyes. You can feel the thoughts happening in your own head. And you are hooked till the end.

There’s a strange dichotomy while listening to the book. You want to know the end so badly and yet you don’t want the book to end. Even with the confession till the last page last minute you do not want raskonikov to confess but you also couldn’t see any other way round it. It’s a book of great dichotomy.

I also fell in love with the characters on the story. Wow . Just awed by the writing

Every Scene Every Character is so beautifully vivid. It happens before your eyes
