 Soo good and so heavy. It takes a while to get through it, but it's so good. It's hard to imagine one person is responsible for writing the whole thing.

 Oprah #5 - real pathetic. Hope the Oprah's ratings won't spread into the rest of the world.
The book is a true classic, with beautifully written characters, the book that rises a lot of questions, but also gives many answers. It is a rare book that sort of gives a reader an opportunity to get some life experience by skipping it in the real life.

 Fascinating look into human nature.
Predictable perhaps, at least in the general themes and conclusions, but incredibly well written... especially in terms of character development.

The last few chapters easily make the whole book worth reading.

 An amazing classic that you must read and reread whenever you find yourself with alot of freely available time on your hands. However, I dont recommend undertaking it mid-semester.

 SPOILER
PLEASE DON'T READ UNLESS YOU HAVE READ THE BOOK, IT WOULD BE TOTALLY UNFAIR TO RUIN THE EXPERIENCE OF THE BOOK BY READING MY COMMENT.

He is putting down the animals thoughts
Sound effects; yawning and cocking gun
When I start reading I feel like I am in a far alternative world other than this one, it's very captivating, like the butterfly effect movie.
Has a very good sense of humor.
One can't accuse him of exaggerating or underestimating the actions and reactions of human minds.
I couldn't believe she really died till later in the chapters were everyone were either mourning or celebrating her death.
The ending itself wasn't ingenious, however, there are many parts of the story were a disaster would ensue and would be a perfect location for an ending, but he chooses to adopt the principle of "Life goes on and so do everybody"

 I just devoured the complete unabridged text and was in love with every major character (well, mainly males) - Levin, Anna, Vronsky, even Oblonsky, Karenin, and Kitty as a mother. While wondering why should the book, far more complex than Anna's love story, be titled as it was, I enjoy the discourse on Levin's farming and his search of faith greatly. I do not want to judge the morality/belief of the past by today's standards or my own values; I will only say that Tolstoy's enactment of these people is SUPERB - no one is perfect or responsibility-free, yet nor is he/she simply evil. Everyone has its own merit, flaws and struggles, and ultimately, we ourselves are responsible for who we choose to be.
