  produto lindo! eu particularmente comprei esse livro por causa da capa, e não me decepcionei. o livro é mole, o que eu acho ótimo. não tem orelhas, e a diagramação não é das melhores. porém, eu achei o produto bom, tanto para colecionar ou treinar o inglês.

  I really enjoyed Anna Karenina. This was a pleasant surprise considering I was dreading reading this book, a book I have long perceived as hard and boring. I found it the opposite. I did try and read it one before when I got a bunch of free e book’s from . Anna Karenina is the kind of novel that does not work as a free, badly formatted ebook and I found it almost unreadable. I stuck to my rule of reading 50 pages a day and found myself reading enjoying the book. Despite the title, the book is not all about Anna; her story probably covers 50% of the weighty tome. Anna Karenina is about Russian High Society, the scandal caused by Anna’s affair with Vronsky and Anna’s downward spiral, likely a result of guilt and the fact she is seen as a fallen woman, scorned to an extent by the society she is part of. Tolstoy offers nothing new about passion or forbidden love but Anna Karenina is so enjoyable this hardly matters. I loved the rich details about the society Anna and the other characters lived in. I thought the characters were spot on. I would have given this book 5/5 if not for Tolstoy’s dense prose which was sometimes a bit of a slog to get through. I enjoyed Anna Karenina much than expected and would recommend it.

  I could have printed it better myself at home! So disappointed, was so excited to read it from a book and not just kindle but thank god for kindle. This is impossible to read as printed all the way to the edges and the spine. Different pages at different font size and sometimes only half the page. No page numbers whatsoever. Just unbelievableespecially for a masterpiece like this one!

  They say that this is one of the books everybody should read. Nearly every famous writer quotes this book. Finally I decided to buy it and to read it, 700 pages! I managed to read 100 pages a day, haha! And finished it in a week. Can only recommend to read this book if you are not in a very busy moment of life because this book has to be read page after page. If you stop reading it for a month you will have to start it from the beginning. I found it a beautiful book although also very tragic. If you like reading, yes, then you should read it sooner or later.

  I was told that this was the best of novels: it isn’t! It is good but far too long and filled with excessive detail about matters which don’t serve the plot at all. It requires a good editor. As for Anna such an intelligent woman losing her mind over nothing was bathos than pathos. Tolstoy turns mediocrities into philosophers who obsess over the trivial!Anyway, at least I can now move on to a book which is less like ploughing through a field of unnecessary language. Dr Johnson would have hated Tolstoy!
