Anna Karenina by Leo TolstoyMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
My feelings for this book are very conflicted. Some parts I enjoyed very much but others such as part three and part eight were too lengthy. They had discussions essential to the story but that could be cut in half. Both religion and agriculture can only be talked about a limited number of times. This parts were monotonous and the story wouldn't be affected if they were removed. The story itself was quite entertaining and I was amazed at the similarities between the book and the last film adaptation. They truly did a great job. Now about Anna, I dislike her very much. I like her story and herself at the beginning but towards the end she showed many signs of a mental disorder and I think her fate was inevitable. All in all I enjoyed the book a lot although it took me ages to read it. Also, there is only so much I can take on the topic of agriculture.
