Crime and Punishment in a Nutshell

Although I read Crime and Punishment a few years ago and like it well enough, here's a hilariously snarky review boiled down to eight key elements.

It is possible, though, to read this weighty tome for no other reason than to enjoy some international time travel of the armchair variety, with excitement and drama provided by unseemly characters in thorny situations. The Russian authors of old are quite accommodating in this regard.
