A review by jenlin18
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy

5.0

This book is an absolute masterpiece. At the beginning I was very confused by the hype and I nearly quit. Thankfully, several people encouraged me to keep going and I’m so glad I did!

The writing is magnificent! I find that particularly impressive considering it has been translated. The descriptions are beautiful and Tolstoy’s genius at contrasting the characters is unsurpassed. There is so much to glean from this novel. I finished reading and immediately wanted to start over and see what else I could get from it. I will be coming back to this book again and again.
