4.0
“If you look for perfection, you'll never be content.”
― Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina
Anna Karenina is a long book, but despite its length manages to perfectly balance every character and their ongoing storylines without ever feeling like a drag. You truly feel that, when reading Anna Karenina you have been on a long journey with these characters you have known for many years. Following them as they live their lives and seeing how they change and adapt to the world around them.
Anna Karenina is a visually well crafted story that really puts the reader in another time and place however its greatest strength lies within its characters, ever character is well crafted with a unique and realistic feeling personality. The characters in this story feel real and the troubles that they are experiencing, the difficulties and the doubts that they are feeling are emotions that every person continues to feel at times to this day, making these characters set in Russia in 1873 continue to feel relatable to a modern audience in ways that many authors even today are unable to achieve.
Overall, a long read but one well worth experiencing at least once.
