Really looking forward to War and Peace now. Brilliant writer this Tolstoy guy was evidently.
There are instances in this book where Tolstoy's knowledge of humanity truly shines. In his accurate depiction of jealousy, in the feelings he describes of a husband whose wife is giving birth, in the effortless way some people can unite everyone else, one can tell that Tolstoy has lived because he writes life. However, I found the plot of the story mostly dull or non-existent. It was a labor to finish.

4.5 stars
A bit slow going for most of the book. It wasn’t as hard to read as I thought it would be.
