   This is one of my all-time favorite books. Tolstoy writes with an amazing inner knowledge of people, each of his characters really comes alive. Occasionally he departs from the story to comment on the war, but I appreciated his views on that, too. This is a story to settle down in for awhile. Worth your time.

   I will be finishing this epic novel in a week from now.
   
   Its been a month since I started it and read other books along with it. I like to read more than one book at a time to break things up a little bit. Who watches only one television series for a month? Well OK, there are those that probably do that.

   It has been quite an amazing journey with many twists and turns. There seems to be many things to be learned about Russia. War and Peace is a massive book, but I found it much easier to read than Atlas Shrugged(fiction displaying what pure socialism could produce) which is also quite a large book.

   The free Kindle version from Amazon ended up being the translation from “Louise and Aylmer Maude”(1922-23) and not from “Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky” (2007) though the image shared displayed the later.

   Amazon rules for offering these classics!
   
   Thank You Amazon.

   I read this when I was in Vietnam and declared it the “best book I’ve ever read.” I’m going to revisit it with this Kindle version. I have qualified the “greatest ever” with Ken Follett’s “Pillars of the Earth” though I suspect it doesn’t meet the critics’ criteria. “Pillars” is just the best historical novel I’ve read. “War and Peace” is “epic” in ever sense of the word. It’s an astounding story.

   Spent the last three months reading W&P on the Kindle. Great way to read a great novel.

   A very good, very interesting story and is very complelling and thought-provoking. If you skip the last two epilogs, you’ll miss a lot of the long-winded part and you won’t miss any of the story.
