A review by bexlrose
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
4.0
My my, what to say about it? I'm so clearly unequal to the task of rating it, it is, without doubt, a masterpiece.
Having said that, it's not a very INTERESTING masterpiece. Once again, I'd point out how underqualified I am to make that assertion. But I'm making it anyway.
Here is my overly simplified review anyhow:
Good book, bloody long, very little plot (for the size of the thing) but very well written. Pretty much all about love and marriage, but with really well-explored characters that never seem to fall into any sort of stereotypical archetypes which is super refreshing.
4 stars. Can I give Tolstoy 4 stars? No. Will I anyway? Yes.
