mrstein 's review for:

Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
4.0

For years i had been meaning to read this, called the greatest novel ever written. It is in fact great; so great that you cannot skim any of it, you have to read every sentence carefully; it’s not a book that goes by quickly, but the love stories are interwoven with philosophy, politics and of course a view Russia in the 1870s. Phew. Did it.
