This week I finally published my thoughts on War & Peace by Leo Tolstoy. It was a long time coming, not only did it take me a long time to read the novel, but I went through the effort for writing a synopsis of every "book" within the novel. It is a satisfying novel which gives the reader much to think about, Tolstoy certainly doesn't hide his opinions.
Please read my post and let me know what you think.
