Bought it cause it was the perfect pocket book, literally it fit perfect in my back pocket and i got excited so i bought it. Read it during a 45 min flight plus the waiting part beforehand. It's a small book, as the title says, it is about a dream of a ridiculous -according to society- man, his thoughts on it and triggered actions by it. Wouldn't call it a sweet story, rather a heavy one i'd say. But still, it is one of my favourite reads. It now decorates my coffee table and sometimes i open it to a random page just to read some sentences and then i just go about my day thinking about the first time i read them.

For a book written in 1848, it stands the test of time impecably. It's only 87 pages and it's a dream to read. The characters remind me of me and so it provoked my brain and actions and made me actually think about my life. I finished the book literally 3 minutes ago

finished reading it a few days ago and it's still taking over my brain. while i was reading i was already really invested in raskolnikov and razumikhin's storyline and i spent most of the book with the idea in my head that it was showing what could've been a meaningful connection that gets cut short by folly, so i was really affected when raskolnikov said his last goodbyes to everyone. what made the book especially memorable to me was that it was not at all as dark and hopeless as i had been conditioned to expect by the title and its rep online.. the moment i realized that there was actually light at the end of the tunnel it immediately cemented itself in my 5 star hall-of-fame.
