A Fantastically modern and readable novel considering when it was written. Even though I was aware of the fate of Anna, I still spent the entire read wondering in what circumstances it would happen. I thoroughly enjoyed the journey of each character throughout the novel and how they developed and interacted.
Very enjoyable and nice to read something that requires a bit more mental engagement than a traditional "page turner".

Loved the story...the parallel of Levin and Anna really became apparent in the end. I had expected more glamour of the Russian culture, but this book is about relationships and how they impact and change people's lives...beautifully written.
This was really deep reading. Or, at least, some of it was. The thoughts on morals, and Christianity, and other things were hard for me to understand, because I am not a particularly deep thinker.
The were two main couples that the book focused on. When it told of the namesake of the book, Anna, and her lover, the story was utterly miserable. Anna buried herself deeper and deeper until the only way she though she could get out was by death.
The other pair was such a contrast to the first. Levin and his new wife Kitty are young, and live a life of basic goodness. Their lives are are pretty much happy. They continually try to do what is good and right.

This is a dense read but is so worth it. The way you're pulled into the characters' lives and the complexities of their stories is absolutely amazing.
