You're right. It's lengthy and it's not easy to digest everything written in it in just one read. I have read 100 pages till now. Tolstoy's writing style is just amazing. While reading it i feel like i am living in these characters. I am happy that i find such a great piece of writing.
Yup it's a great novel and is world famous. Alot of characters are involved which makes it interesting. That's the beauty of the novel you feel like as if you're real life is in the book and the real world is just a dream.
Well it's an historical fiction novel written back in 1869 it's about the aristocratic families and the French invasion of Russia includes all the battle strategies of war. At some points you'll be like what's going on the novel can be confusing because it's a long book but it's worth it. If you're more into war kind of stuff and romance then you'll like it for sure. It contains knowledge which can be helpful for you in the future.
