  • New translation which is supposed to be the best for this particular book

    Books are so hard to review but I bought this particular version because it is supposed to be the best translation so far of Crime and Punishment. I have not read this version yet. I collect books for reading now and in the future.

    I LOVED THIS BOOK! I had to read it for a high school class, which made me not very enthusiastic about it. However, IT TURNED OUT TO BE AMAZING. Definitely would recommend! Great translation of the book!
