About this listen

Often considered one of the first ever psychological thrillers, Crime and Punishment is a gripping tale of a poverty-stricken young man in Saint Petersburg, Russia, who hatches a plan to kill someone for money. Once the deed is done, he finds himself racked with guilt, confusion and disgust for his act.

In this new recording, Will Poulter (Detroit, Midsommar, The Maze Runner) gives new life to the troubled protagonist, Rodion Raskolnikov, in a performance that will have you questioning where we draw the line between right and wrong.

The way Dostoyevsky writes is simply of a genial level. The character's psychological portrait is highly complex and marvelous, it left me open mouthed with all the vivid details. This definitely deserves 6 stars out of 5, just impeccable.

A definite masterpiece

Pretty sure I don't have to rate the book, history has given it five stars. Will Poulter just nails his performance, nuance, brings real personality to each character through expression and accent. Can't fault it 22 1/2 hours I'll happily hear again.

C&P is a wonderful story that softens one's heart to the suffering of humanity. Will Poulter brought the story to life with the variety of accents/voices he displayed. Highly recommend that you listen to this tale.

I listen to a lot of audiobooks but I seldom leave a written review but I felt compelled to leave one for Will Poulter reading Crime and Punishment. He’s a superb actor. All the different voices he does and his elocution is spot one. It made me made to watch more of his movies. I’m a little embarrassed that it took me so long to get around to reading, or in this instance, listening to Crime and Punishment. It’s in a literary league of its own, a fantastic book.

Will Poulter did a brilliant job of reading a brilliant book.
