I found that this works best when you completely immerse yourself in the world that Tolstoy describes here and read not only the book, but the history of the period and also watch the film and TV adaptations of this epic story. I always prefer an actual physical book but, in this case it was more of a need than a want. I found a good way to counter the impact of the pain in my arm was to intersperse the reading with the Kindle edition. I started reading the printed version of this and it soon became clear that the sheer weight of the book (and I mean actual physical weight rather than the density of the plot) meant that my forearms were aching after a few hours. In fact it is very long, to the extent that its length has become a byword to describe any other great tome of writing, and has passed into the modern vernacular, how often do we hear terms such as 'I was not expecting War and Peace'. Excellent read by far!!!! Written by papapownall The thing that most people know about War and Peace is that it is long. I find it so fascinating and interesting.

Now that I have started reading War and Peace I wished I would have taken the time to read it. Written by Dianne I always wanted to read this when I was in school. See the Book's Video Review/Recommendation: Report copyright / DMCA form
