Amazing book, it’s long but so worth it! Super interesting and the characters are all amazing! At the end of the book I felt like I knew every character so personally and this book just couldn’t have been any better!!

It's good, definitely worth the read. I enjoyed parts of it, and it was interesting to see the development of some characters and the fall of others. All the characters felt like real people who could have actually existed in 1873. However, I did find there were some sections in the book that were really, really dull and I found myself reading other books instead of Anna Karenina as I just found certain bits really boring.
