Great book, easier to read than first thought. July 27, 2010

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.
 A little long-winded at times but a very good read overall July 20, 2010

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.

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.
