In the spirit of trying to read books from all genres and time periods, classics, and books I have always wanted to read, my friend Janine and I decided to embark on Tolstoy’s masterpiece as a group effort had there not been a group effort, this book would never have been finished. Ever. I was willing to give it up every step of the way including the last fifty pages. While seen as one of the best stories of all time, I have yet to understand why. The best part took place in the last few pages of part seven – you will need to dedicate at least 100 of your life to find out what that is. All in all, the book dealt with cheating, unhappy marriages, farming, and lots of rich people complaining about how terrible the lives they have created for themselves are. In all honesty, I don’t get how this is a love story – at all. However, you better believe I will tell everybody I read this entire book and if I don’t like you, I may tell you to read it – especially if I don’t want to hear from you for the next three weeks.
