Amazing. I like the development of the plot. It is amazing how Richard put himself through so much, especially when he could have avoided it all together. He shows how much strength he possesses and stubbornness. The story is starting to shift and I have a fleeting suspicion of where it is going, without thinking too much on it.

Great book a couple slow areas but it is very captivating for me.

The book has been very captivating through the death of Count Bezukhov.

I really like these discussions between characters. The flow of the conversations moves you along very nicely. The descriptions of each person is gives you just enough, not too much, keeps you interested as you go.

The old bachelor Shinshin is an interesting character to me, I can completely picture him on the couch smoking his pipe.

Officially started reading War and Peace. First reading ever as well.

I seem to already be re- reading what I have already read. I really like the introduction of Princess Bolkonskaya. I almost felt like I was in her presence.

Starting to see why Tolstoy was such a profound writer. I am only several pages in and I feel like I am a guest at the reception.

I am very much enjoying this book. It just grabbed my attention from the very start.

This chapter is too long.

I hate that it is going to take 35 minutes to finish a chapter in this book. At this point I will have to speed read this just to keep some interest in reading this book. I much prefer long books with short chapters.
