When you're reading a book as verbose and substantial as W&P, every time you flip the page becomes a game of "has the percentage changed yet"? (It took me thirty pages, for those who are wondering.)

So far, we have:
Pierre, who is a nerdy prankster. Got himself kicked out of St. Petersburg (the college or city, not sure) for tying a policeman to a bear. (How...?)
Andrew and Lise - how do these two even make a couple? Andrew is like a solemn Colonel Brandon, and she's...not. It's just very odd to me.
Natasha Rostova, who is thirteen, and is a huge bundle of socialite energy.

More updates to come!

So close to the finish!
