A review by markjohnston
War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy

3.0

I read this because it's "one of the best books ever written". I don't know if it's the translation, or that I'm not smart, or that maybe it's just really not that great.

I found it...interesting, in the way a wikipedia article is.

My ego decided at some point it needed to read "the classics", so I read a bunch of them and this was probably the least enjoyable.

This is one of those times I'm willing to admit I am probably wrong, because the book gets so much acclaim. But yeah, not feeling it.
