Fyodor Dostoyevsky

The story tells of the inner turmoil of Rodion Raskolnikov, a student in St. Petersburg who commits murder.

Reviews
Robin Mohan
This is the best book ever ! I love the audio and remember all characters now.
Amazing Reading!
Zeynab
The voices are clear and the dramatic version is just fantastic!
Amazing grace for wretched sinners.
Marcel F.
Great story with outstanding insights into the human heart. Why is humanity full of glorious examples of love and charity and on the other side of such incredible cruelty and deceit? The answer is the fall of humanity in Eden from where the "virus" if sin spread over all the world(to which Dostoyevsky refers to in the Epilogue). The story was very intriguing and all characters well described, and - for the most part - excellently read! Thank you for this well-produced audio book!
Loved the characters
isha s
loved all the voice actors who did an amazing job bringing the characters to life, I don't know if I can hear an audiobook the same way again the sound quality was inconsistent in some places though which took out the immersion as I had to adjust the volume anyway, special mentions to voice actors of Dounia, Porfiry Petrovich and Svidrigailov, they were fantastic in their roles
best reading!
Cappe
this is by far the best version of the audiobook! i struggled to listen to other versions because they weren't read very well. this one is amazing tho! so much effort put into it! everyone in the cast did a great job!! I was so happy to find this since i really wanted to read this book, thank you so much everyone who made this.
Ma Foi!
Jacques-Aussi
This was an above-average performance overall, but not stellar. The stars performers were: Porfiry Petrovich by tovarisch Dunya by K G Cross Semyon Marmeladov by John Burlinson Razumihin by Zach K Lebeziatnikov by Peter Tucker Katerina Ivanovna by TJ Burns Audio quality was inconsistent among the readers. My, what a story, though! What a psychological masterpiece!
Great reading of an epic
Scott of the Antipodes
There's not much I can say about how powerful and still relevant this novel is that hasn't already been said, chronicling Raskolnikov's decent and redemption. The reading is really good, in particular Raskolnikov himself, the two narrators, Dunya, Sonya and Porfiry the policeman all give really good readings. Nice work.

I came back to this book after attempting to read it a few years ago and not being able to finish. It requires patience, specially to go through the beginning , but it's totally worth it, and I'm glad I kept going this time. Thanks to all the readers for sharing!
