I've never really been intimidated by long books, but the weight of the book makes me nervous. You're certainly correct that you could knock yourself out with it! I was more nervous of how I would react to the battle scenes, but the way Tolstoy writes them makes them easy to enjoy. I'm excited for Volume II!Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07343557750428307066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-60466394952581204142011-01-15T12:44:02.627-05:002011-01-15T12:44:02.627-05:00I'm definitely loving it, but I think the firs...I'm definitely loving it, but I think the first section was probably the hardest. I just needed to get used to the French and the character names, now I'm good. I agree that it's beautifully written and I'm really happy with the translation. The story is wonderful and much less intimidating than I thought it would be.Melissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-52939558513351354302011-01-15T12:14:44.256-05:002011-01-15T12:14:44.256-05:00I see that you have gone green :) Thank you for m...I see that you have gone green :) Thank you for making this book less daunting.
