Crime and Punishment

The worst book I ever read or partly read as the case maybe. I found the main character completely unbelievable. I can see why it's a classic though. It's got all the trademarks of a classic. The main character is a victim. The main character is a whiny douche. The ratio of whining to action is almost infinity.
Honestly though why is this book a classic? Is it fun to read? Absolutely not. Is it a timeless tale that anyone can relate to? No! No one can relate to this story because it makes no sense and is completely unbelievable. Star wars is more real than this tale. Is the prose amazing? Maybe. I doubt it though because it was originally written in Russian. So what is it then?
To be continued...
