Unfortunately, I did not get this novel like I did War and Peace, so it was a big disappointment. Usually I don't finish books that I don't like, but I finished this one because I thought I was getting it up towards the 2/3 point of the book, and then stopped getting whatever it was. I never really connected to any characters or understood the book. I apologize to myself for wasting my own time.
The book is interesting in the sense that it is a cool historical artifact of the 1870s in Russia, but beyond that, I just didn't connect with it. Apparently it's one of the best books ever written, but I just don't understand why.
