Ekkkk

While reading, I feel like I want to shut Raskolnikov up when he gets the urges to blurt out that he murdered the ladies. This book really stresses me out. This novel seems like one of the only situations where I find myself cheering of the bad guy. I mean, he committed murders to "better the world" but regardless he murdered two people. The uncontrollable, unsure side of Raskolnikov ticks me off. I just wish I could help keep his secret for him, for whatever reason. The worst part of the novel is the anxiety I felt when he wanted to run over to the police station and turn himself in. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING BUDDY?! Thank goodness he got distracted by the guy that got ran over by the horse (which was completely random).

I also like how Dostoyevsky adds things into the novel that kind of lets you know he grew up around a mental hospital. It's really interesting. For example when he talks about how he can point out a person that is mentally not healthy and how he mentions a lot about justification. It's all very interesting.

That's all..

omg i was EXACTLY the same way. I started getting all antsy when ever he was at risk for telling his secret, or like with Porfiry when he hinting him about it. He always lets allthe other characters get way to close and it stresses me out wickid bad haha.
