When there's a crime, there's a punishment(unless you're OJ)

Because there is no description on the back of the book for what Crime and Punishment is about, I had to make my own inferences(Don't you just hate when that happens?Like, I don't know what this story is about but I know the New York Times loved it.So helpful). The beginning of this this book is reminding me of The Tell Tale Heart.I guess that was the point.Good job Mr B!Both stories seem to follow a man who is about to commit murder(Pawnshop lady you best be watching yo back). They both have a weird murderer as the main character so you know you're about to read a nice and sweet story.(Although the story does chang point of view from R-cubed to Marmeladov to the mom).In this case, the man character is R-cubed(because I'm not going to type his whole name out), a man who is poor and disheveled looking.He needs some new friends stat because all he does is talk to himself.It's cute at...well... never but after a couple of pages it's like shouldn't you be looking for a job?Anyways....The mood is depressing because everyone is either poor or poor and a prostitute(but with a heart of gold I'm sure). It is also so far very ominous; the reader knows that a crime is about to happen(and I'm guessing here but maybe a....punishment?Gasp!). This is because we can see R-cubed's thoughts which tell you that he's been having thoughts that he's trying to turn into actions.He seems to be pushed to his limits and thus, not clearly right in the head(but right in the face wink wink).Overall I'm excited to see what happens next.No seriously....I'm watching the movie right now.
