About this listen

A century after it first appeared, Crime and Punishment remains one of the most gripping psychological thrillers. A poverty-stricken young man, seeing his family making sacrifices for him, is faced with an opportunity to solve his financial problems with one simple but horrifying act: the murder of a pawnbroker. She is, he feels, just a parasite on society. But does the end justify the means? Rodion Romanovitch Raskolnikov makes his decision and then has to live with it. Dostoyevsky, in masterly fashion, contrasts the comedy and tragedy of life in St. Petersburg with the anguish and turmoil of Raskolnikov's inner life.

Where does Crime and Punishment rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Probably the second best audio book i have ever listened to firstly due to the truly excellent narration and secondly because of the author's unique talent for portraying the different characters including their thoughts and moods. The story is gripping and moves along at a fair clip keeping the listener hooked.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Crime and Punishment?

That would be giving the story away! It is so incredibly well written.

Have you listened to any of Constantine Gregory’s other performances? How does this one compare?

No but I will do.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It didn't make me laugh or cry but I enjoyed it hugely and am very glad I bought it.

Any additional comments?

I cannot praise the narration enough. He alters his pitch and accent to portray the different characters so convincingly that I had to remind myself at times that it was just one person reading. He pronounces all the Russian names so well - at least it seems that way to me but I don't speak Russian!

The narrator does a brilliant job

I never finished reading this book, so I gave it a try as an audiobook and what a difference it made.
Such a great story, with great characters and moments that were so tense.
The narrator was a bit more cheerful than I imagined Raskolnikov to sound but I adjusted to it after a while and enjoyed it.

Fantastic story

I did struggle with this. What with the way the author wrote it. The names are also confusing as sometimes people are called by surnames or forenames and the names are complicated. Nor does it help that the author gives different people the same or similar names. The voice actor was great and I plan to listen to another dostoyevsky book read by this voice actor.

Hard to understand but well worth it
