holl_sy 's review for:

Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
4.5
challenging dark emotional funny sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

With this being the second Tolstoy book I’ve read now I can say arguably that this book is better. I like them both for different reasons but I feel like this book made me feel a lot more emotions than War and Peace did. Tolstoy did a wonderful job of writing a character that he wanted to hate but you could tell he just couldn’t by the end. It’s worth the time and effort to read and I’ll always recommend it.
