Heh, so after a grueling 3 month summer, I have just finished reading this book for school. I really thought it was a boring book overall with some good philosophical ideas. I don't mean to sound shallow or naive in any way, but the book was a bummer and the storyline failed to captivate me (although I do like the dark atmosphere). Have any of you guys read it, and what do you think? I'm soposed to have an in-class essay on the first day of school (senior year, yay :rolleyes: ) so any key details, themes, symbols ect. in the book that are worth knowing would be greatly appreciated.

and yes, I'm aware that we have a mod thats named Raskolnikov... :p
