“Often times we ask ourselves how someone can do this or that. It was in this book that I recognized the inner criminal, dare I say, the inner murderer in me.

“Best book i've read. brilliant.”
“A fantastic portrayal of the psychology of guilt, and, if not his best book, easily his most accessible.”
“I loved Dostoyevsky's thorough discussion of the power of the conscience to convict. This book kept me enthralled through every page. Amazing work. ”
“The greatest book written.”
“I did love this book, but I still dont think this was the best of his work. In my opinion, the Possessed was his best book, though I dont think it gets the attention that his other books do.”
