I can't believe I've finally finished this book. It was worth it though, I think this is a very rewarding read, and I enjoyed it.

its a classic novel of ideas, with themes that have timeless elements to them. however it is still grounded in its time which makes for an interesting read but also a challenging read. it was a struggle in parts to continue, but i overall enjoyed the journey.

I absolutely adored this book, Anna and Vronsky’s tragedy was captivating. However I found most of Levin’s passages (particularly about farming) very mundane and dull - its a pity Tolstoy did not have an editor!
