leah_alexandra 's review for:

Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak
3.25
challenging dark reflective medium-paced

There is some beautiful writing here, and I appreciate the effort. That said, I think the core love interest was developed more by telling than showing. I also found the tone to be a bit lighter at times, which contrasted oddly with the seriousness of the circumstances.
