lealeab5 's review for:

Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak

2.0

---

I have a print copy of this book, but I thought it might be easier to listen to it on Audible. For the first 100 - 200 pages I was so confused by all the names of people and places. I really think I should have just read it so I could have actually seen the words. Once I got a little farther in, however, I started to get into the details of the story a bit more. Having a little understanding of the Russian Revolution and subsequent civil war helps the reader to follow the plot. I had just enough. The epilogue in this edition explains the difficulties of getting this novel published, and I found that really fascinating.
