Classic tolstoy, like wading through cement but you're happy about. I must ammot i liked war and peace better, simply I found the plot in anna larenina like a slow train. Toasty does do a phenomenal job examining the human experience from various perspectives. I really enjoyed Levin's narrative, specifically when getting married and Kitty's birthing scenes. I did enjoy the contrast of plots between Oblansky and dolly/ vronsky and Anna, and Levin and kitty. It is truly a classic read however make sure to have a commentary and some spark notes up while reading as I found i had to look up different aspects of the plot. Overall well read but not as good as I thought it would be.
