A review by ezz86
Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak

1.0

This book didn't live up to my expectations. I was really looking forward to a spectacular love story, and I really didn't find that at all. For starters it takes forever to get going, there are moments where the story moves with a bit of pace, but for the majority I felt that it dragged. This was probably because I am not a huge fan of extended description, and Pasternak loves to do that. But the love story didn't even really start until about 300 pages into the book, and even then, I didn't feel the passion that many others have raved about. I struggled through and finished it, but I wouldn't pick it up again unfortunately.
