DNF. Forced it through page 250 (only 950 or so more to go…..) waiting for it to get better, but I literally have zero interest in a single character in this story, and there’s like a hundred of them so I feel like that’s saying something. Considering all the reviews call this the greatest book of all time, I had high hopes but it sure feels an awful lot like a soap opera mixed with a war documentary. Maybe I’ll try it again another day, but not today.

Made a fool of myself by reading this, despising it, and then trying to big it up to everyone I came across so I wouldn't be the idiot who didn't "get" Tolstoy.

Am I insane? This was really boring. Unfunny. Ineffective at whatever it was that it was trying to do. Maybe my translation of it was skeeved, but I felt like I was watching the story's events through a thick and grimy pane of glass.

Penso di non aver mai letto Iibro più bello. Ho fatto pace con l'idea della morte e mi sono follemente innamorata di Andrej, Pierre, Natasha e Marja.
Guerra e Pace è un libro che dovrebbero leggere tutti nella vita!
