Cleanliness:
This is a classic so the "bad" stuff is not detailed and I didn't find it offensive. So what's the bad stuff? There is a murder that occurs but it doesn't describe it in gory detail. There is also a women who is a prostitute but this is merely a detail of her. The author never writes about her in the act.
Summary:
A poor, man who lives in Russia commits a crime and then suffers from the moral dilemma of what he's done. 

What I Really Liked:
The author does well at putting you into the main character's mind. You see all the colors of his emotion and all his mental struggles.
.
What I Disliked:
It's a long, almost dizzying read. As I said, the author puts you in the main character's mind and you almost begin to feel that you are just as loopy as him as you read it.
Reading Worth:
If you are in the mood for a long, classic that will leave you thinking then this is the book for you. It requires commitment in order to finish, and it will leave you much to analyze and dwell on when you're done. Definitely not a light read.
