Editor reviews
George Guidall's performance of this literary classic transports the audience to the slums of St. Petersburg and deep into the mind of Rodion Raskolnikov, a young Russian intellectual. Raskolnikov murders an old woman, a money-lender and pawn-broker he considers repugnant. He reasons that he'll repay his crimes with good deeds. Although he justifies the murder using reason and intellect, he is ultimately consumed by guilt. Crime and Punishment is one of the most influential works of literature in the world. Guidall's tremulous voice captures the severity and suspense of this story, making this an unforgettable experience for the listener.

Very engaging
I have got a general method of using audiobooks which I suppose would affect my review too. I normally read and listen. That is, while I'm hearing to the audiobook I read the book simultanously. This, I believe, helps to get the most out of the both experiences.
My first audible experience was with Crime and Punishment. Although I'd had listened to the various audiobooks before, but this was the first time that I read the whole book in concert with listening to its narration. George Guidall's narration of the Crime and Punishment was fascinating and very engaging. The particular connection that his narration makes between the reader and the main character of the novel--Raskolnikov-- is beyond imagination. It definitely gets the reader into the world of the novel and shed even more light on one of the masterpieces of Dostoevsky. Guidall's soothing voice plus his tactful narration will help the reader of Crime and Punishment to live the novel.

Simply awesome!
If the paper version is a ?page turner?, this version is an ?ear burner?! A masterful vocal depiction of complex and tense emotions and multidimensional characters? but don?t take my word for it, ?see? for yourselves!

Incredible performance
It's a classic of course so no need to talk about what a fantastic piece of literature it is. George Guidall's narration is amazing in that he manages subtle alterations in his voice to help distinguish characters and really bring the text to life. A highly pleasurable way to spend 26 hours

worth it.
following on from J B Peterson's recommendation. And listening to 12 rules for life. an antidote to chaos, this book is well worth taking the time to go through if you are remotely interested in the psychology of the divided self and the principle of man's search for meaning. beautifully orated, the story offers insight into the pitfalls of consequence and causality. it is a difficult book at times due to the authors overdescriptive tendency, however I became used to this and eventually began to enjoy it, remembering it was written in the mid 20th century. Dostoevsky is no doubt one of the great thinkers and experts of the human psyche in literature. lots of valuable gems here for those who seek to find them.

Crime And Punishment - A Classic
Any additional comments?
This book is a classic and because of its topics, period & style, it is a hard book to read. This was well read & a tale worth hearing.

An intellectually absorbing read.
Din't know whether it was my cup of tea but really enjoyed the characterisations and although unbelievably detailed it was never overdone and displayed the authors psycho-analytical skills in a very satisfying story.

Essential
The book deserves its reputation - it's a masterpiece. I'm glad I chose to listen rather than read though, there's a lot of detail and dialogue that I would otherwise have skimmed. The narration is excellent - I suppose I could quibble that I'd have prefered fake Russian accents rather than English and Irish, but Guidall gives a voice to each character that works really well, and he reads beautifully. I cannot believe how good this book is, the hours of listening were absolutely worth it. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves great literature, and also to everyone else.
