Summary
Raskolnikov the intellectual divides humanity into two types: the meek, submissive mass of mankind and the "Supermen". The Nietzschean Superman can violate any law or principle to attain his beneficial ends. Since Raskolnikov has allied himself with the Superman, he intends to prove his superiority by committing a murder without remorse by eliminating an "undesirable" person.
The novel's central question is whether it is justifiable to commit an atrocity in order to improve humanity. Dostoevsky shows us that a person cannot control and direct his life solely with his reason and intellect, that free will is limited. Listen as one of the finest psychological novels ever written unfolds.

Exquisite Narration
By far the best oral narration of any of the hundreds of Audible titles I have bought.

Spellbinding!!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Absolutely! Great narrator, very easy to keep track of the Russian name diminutives. Compelling story. The psychological tension and physical manifistations Rakolnikov endures in the struggle to understand that the suffering of condign punishment is easier to endure than the weight of the crime completely captivated me.
What about Charlton Griffin’s performance did you like?
The animation he brought to the characters
Any additional comments?
I was so enraptured that I tripped while listening and broke my arm. I took the time to pause the book before calling the ambulance so I wouldn't lose my place.

Brilliantly narrated
I thoroughly enjoyed this story and thought the narrator was excellent. I haven't listened to many books from the 1800's and I was surprised by how good it was.

Exquisite Performance of a True Classic
I loved this staggeringly brilliant book. The acting was incredible; Griffin's voice is amazing, and he does a scarily accurate old woman voice.
Watch out for a major spoiler in the intro however. Don't know why they put a synopsis of the story (including detailing the ending) in the introduction of the book?
Other than that simply brilliant. An extremely sophisticated story and an equally sophisticated performance.

Deep insight into criminal psycology
thorough description of a ceiminal's psycology and emotional state... a bit gloomy, not much philosophy.

Excellent
The narrator gives well thought out voices to each of the characters and clearly relishes the performance in parts. Only gets confusing when there two female characters speaking in a scene as they all sound more or less the same, but it's a minor quibble.
