Controversial opinion: I enjoyed the second epilogue.

I don't know what I can add about this book that hasn't already been said. I guess I would say this book definitely deserves its place in the classics (not that anyone is disputing that), but the second epilogue was actually so boring and repetitive i did want to kill myself a little.

War and Peace was such a pleasant surprise to me, as it was not what I expected. I would have never thought that I would become so attached to the characters when there were so many of them, but I did. I loved the characters, I loved seeing them after the war, and I think I will miss reading this book. I have to admit, it’ll probably be strange not going to pick up War and Peace after doing it for the past two months!

I enjoyed it, perhaps more than I thought I would. Good characters, good writing, I could have done without the second epilogue dealing with historiography and free will, but the rest was enjoyable.
