A Goodreads user asked this question about Crime and Punishment:

hi, can anyone tell me if this book is difficult to read? i mean difficult as in the frames of reference because of its age? i would love to read it but i read tale of two cities and had to keep reading lines over again which i didnt enjoy, i could read it but i like a book to flow for me to be able to enjoy it.

Would go along with the majority of comments here and say Crime and Punishment is well worth reading and not at all difficult once you get familiar with the naming system (most editions will have an index of names you can refer to). Dostoyevsky is a truly great writer and the way he brings the characters and St Petersburg to life is brilliant.(less)
