Dear Anna, I don't quite understand you. You were THIS close to getting what you wanted - and you threw it away in the childish and stubborn decision. This was the part that made me roll my eyes when I first read this book, and it still the part that annoys me now. Dear Anna, your decisions do have consequences, and this one will come to haunt you, my dear.

My heart is breaking for Seryozha, Anna's son. And now I'm actually upset with Anna - she could have avoided this separation of a little boy from his mother had she only not decided to embrace her suffering. Selfish, it was. Selfish.

I forgot how wordy and repetitive Count Tolstoy can get! At this point, I'm quite enjoying the book. Poor Anna...

I hated this book when I was 15. But, as a disclaimer, at that age I also thought Britney Spears made good music - so clearly something was deeply wrong with my perception of the universe. But as another disclaimer - at that age I also was able to recognize the genius of Stephen King (no, I'm not being sarcastic). Now it's time to form an adult opinion about the classic - so here we go.

I totally agree with this comment... While the book tried to make Anna and her brother (Stiva) seem like very genuine, kind people... I really began to dislike them through the middle of the book and become highly annoyed of Anna at the end of the book. Everything bad that happened was her fault and choice. Even the end just proves her BAD judge of action. I could not help rolling my eyes half way through until the end when it came to her... Though there were few times of pity.
