nerdiediaries 's review for:

War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
4.0

Genre: Russian literature, Classics, Historical fiction, War novels

At 1273 pages, this is the longest book I've read in the past three years, and it took me two months to finish it.

It was a slightly difficult novel. I had to begin it thrice, twice I almost gave up. But I'm glad, I persisted. It was worth a read. Of course, 1/4th of the book could have been edited out, but the rest of it was phenomenal.

"One must believe in the possibility of happiness in order to be happy, and I now believe in it. Let the dead bury the dead, but while I'm alive, I must live and be happy.”
