peeled_grape's review against another edition
I will say I disliked Levin quite a bit (which is funnier considering he’s Tolstoy’s self-insert). God, the Russian farming sections. Struggled through that. I wonder what made Tolstoy name the book after Anna when Levin is featured more heavily. He seems to be the main protagonist here. Sections 2 and 3 are slow, but 8 is the disappointing one. So much happens between 7 and 8 we don’t get to see and should!!

I wish I had read this novel when I was 15, I think that would've been the perfect age for me to fully appreciate it.

The foreshadowing was done great. I especially liked how
It did drag in some places, though really what can you expect from a book of this length, and while I understood the strategy behind the last part

The only two gripes I have with it is that I wish there had been more study of Vronsky and Kitty’s characters and how dissatisfied I was with the ending. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the ending with Levin. It was one of my favorite parts of the book but I didn’t like that it was literally the last page or how none of the characters’ reactions to
Regardless, I cannot say enough good things about this book and think that everyone should, given the chance, immerse themselves in it.
