Didn't get time to read anything this week either.

I read it ages ago. I didn’t like it. I find Tolstoj robotically moralistic. His obsession with the Napoleonic war seemed shoehorned into the story. I liked the characters, almost in some of the writing. And I hated the Epilogue, let me know what you will think of it!

    The second epilogue I also don’t look forward to. I usually don’t do too well with the straight philosophical exposition. And I would agree with you on Tolstoi being moralistic overall, but here I feel like it’s not really that on the nose. Kreutzersonata or Master and Man on the other hand were both quite unenjoyable because of the preachiness.
