    I love the writing style of this book. I feel like I'm sitting across from June as she tells me her story. June is such an unlikeable character yet Kuang is brilliant in the way she brings out those flaws. I think it's subtle and much more powerful a message.

    This is the slowest I've ever read a book. The chapters feel dense. But I am enjoying the book. It's entertaining watching Raskolnikov's mental gymnastics to justify his actions. Somehow every coincidence is a message to him that committing this crime is fated. He even ignores his own subconscious warning him in a dream.

    Love how Dostoevsky uses suspense to hook the reader.

    I can't help but notice as I read this book that the women seem stronger than the men. They are the ones making sacrifices, usually to help others. Raskolnikov's comparison of a arranged, loveless marriage to prostitution was surprising.
