rokinjaguar 's review for:

Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
4.0
challenging 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

It’s hard for me to pay very close attention when I listen to an audiobook, so I’m sure I missed some stuff. 
Anna’s affair was really well-written, especially
the toxicity and insecurity in the relationship
. I’ve experienced something similar (in a very minor way) and it felt very familiar. 
Levin’s story was a bit hit or miss with me. Often nothing was really happening, but I do like his complicated character, and
the ending was very sweet and wholesome with him finding God and seeing the world through new eyes

Very very slow, pace yourself, but an interesting journey into people’s psychology.
