This is a pretty interesting movie, strange story and hard to believe she was going to kill her own doctor.
While in Australia, I managed to finish a book by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Previously, I read two of his more famous works, namely "Crime & Punishment" and "The Brothers Karamazov". However, "House of the Dead" is a very different book. Instead of being a mere novel, the book reads more like an autobiographical story of his own time in a Russian prison. Actually, the book can be considered a documentary of the time Dostoyevsky actually spent in jail, and he certainly does not leave the impression that a Russian prison in the 1800s was a great place to be. Particularly when the prison is located in Siberia.
