This is NOT a review, but is a brief overview of my thoughts on this very popular classic novel-turned-movie.
I am in the definite minority that is not overwhelmed by Anna Karenina. I have heard that this is the "greatest novel ever written." NOT in my opinion. I can say that Tolstoy has written one of the most memorable characters I've ever read in the person of Anna. And I do not mean that I will remember her fondly... :) Anna started off as a intelligent character, but once she "got the show more guy" she turned into a pathetic, insecure, waffling woman who ties all her hopes and reason for living into her relationship with Vronsky.
There are scores of reviews that will summarize the plot lines and basic premises of this novel. I will say that there are portions of the narrative that are beautifully written and that I enjoyed. The only reason I continued reading this behemoth is because of the plot line between Kitty and Levin (which were the only decent characters in the novel for me).
Might be a Spoiler --
When the end came, I would have thought I would have rediscovered some sympathy for Anna. I did not. I was ready for the end much sooner than it came and when it did occur, I thought "Thank God. No more whining." I don't like feeling this way about characters. show less
