Took a long time to complete but it was worth it. Jane's wit completely amazed me, and it was amusing too.
I have to admit I learned so much from this book – my vocabulary, literally, skyrocketed after completing it not just the vocabulary but the insights it gave me was on next level.

I gotta consent after reading Emma I've seen changes on my writing (I love writing) and way of thinking.

As I started this book at the end of summer and read most of the book on Autumn so it completely fit with the vibe.

And, yeah, it totally deserves 5/5 stars!

First, when it comes to Crime and Punishment it's a masterpiece of all time, everyone acknowledges that, and no one can make a review of it by few words. Crime and Punishment is a gem in classics, and an should read work.

When I started reading it, i was first overwhelmed by lots of vocabulary and names, which at fist will make you uneasy, but you will get used to it and your reading flow will become surprising fast. The reason this happened to me in the first place is because this was my first read from Russian literature.

Dostoevsky is well known for its psychoanalysis of human mind, because of the events he went through, it's not wrong to say every sentence of his work is psychologically true. And it's will rip your soul out of your body and mend you in a new way. When you get in to characters you cannot stop page turning. Evey character displays different nature of a human being and will make you uneasy, sad and hopeless and then it'll let you know the benefactor, hopeful and humane nature of characters too.

Crime and Punishment, i think, is gonna be my best read of 2024 and one of the best books I've ever read — and I'm sure this work is gonna make a huge impact on me.

After reading like for an eternity I'm glad at last i complete it.

Most of the time i just read on sentences without getting anything (because my mind wandered here and there without realizing that i hold a book).

But i learned a lot at the end, like influence of well you know on other countries, it was mind blowing and an average experience.
Tbh the ending section of the book was really great and encouraged to look for answers, not just wait for magical answers—that is to say.

Stories are a good way to share wisdom and are easy to remember.

This was a book which covered most of topics, which are important for better life.

Those who don't know about it. This is a translation of six books of The Masnavi—more shortened form.

It was good i read it in two days and it was a page turner. It is a good read.

Here is my best quote drom the book:
"I—I hardly know, sir, just at present—at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have changed several times since then."
