This was one of the hardest book for me to read. The writing was great it was just long and I found much of the detail irrelevant except in helping you to understand the depth of some of the characters. I have always wanted to read it and am glad I did, if you feel so inclined just be prepared to give it time. I'm sure that it should get more stars, after all it is Tolstoy, I gave it three because I wouldn't be wanting to pick it up any time soon.

Human emotional range refined and summarized thru the lives 19th century russian aristocracy who pretend to be french. Pure poetry hides within...

Well I mean, you probably aren't going into this book blind. And if you are going to set aside enough time to develop a monogamous relationship with it, I hope you like things that make you sad. Especially if you are a woman.

There, I said it. This book makes you sad to be a woman.

Read this in Russian.
1) Author eloquently uses Pushkin language, imo thats the most valuable part of this book.
2) Made me feel like watching a soap opera.
3) If you have extremely huge amount of time to waste, this book is a perfect choice.
