Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
3.0
I kind of have mixed feeling about this book. I absolutely loved the first half the other half was at times boring for me. I quite expected extreme details of incidents in the book looking at the bulkiness of the book but at times i wanted to just skip the parts.
As per the characters, no question on Tolstoy's beautiful detailed presentation of each character through out the book. While i adored Anna so much the ending just blew me out..... I can't decide if i love Anna or dislike her.
I do not agree with people saying Karenin as a villain in the story but i also did not like how he stood on the way of Anna's happiness.
The 800 pages book failed to give me an explanation on many scenarios like
1. Why Anna became so paranoid at the end of story. Was she mentally troubled?
2. She loved Vronsky but why couldn't she adore little Annie the way she adored Sereza?
