Is there really any similarity between the Snowden's and Raskolnikov's deeds?

Let’s see...murder vs. telling a nation that its government is turning its intelligence apparatus inward against the citizens. Nope.

Great book. I think anyone could learn from it.

By the way, did you read the book? I don't think Raskolnikov is your typical murderer. I don't want to give a lot away, but it's a little more complex than you might think.

Also, it was at times very funny. I think I almost choked laughing for a few scenes.

he had also brought some works by another classic Russian author – Anton Chekhov – “to cheer him up.”

What cheers you up reading Russian literature: Thinking, "hey, things could be much, much worse."

No Similarity at all...but it’s a rip-snortin’ Good Book, and will help pass time at the airport!

He probably should read Kafka’s “The Castle”
