idicalini 's review for:

The Death of Ivan Ilych by Leo Tolstoy
3.5
dark emotional reflective sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Another short novel from Tolstoy. I preferred Master and Man, but The death of Ivan Ilyich stands out in how it portrays the long approach of death, and the psychology of living through those months. I think both stories go well together.
