I thought it was just OK.

Of the two main characters I liked Levin (who feels like a stand in for Tolstoy himself) more than Anna. Some of Levin's rants were interesting and I felt him grow as a character throughout the novel. I really liked Anna at first, but later not so much. She's a vibrant, beautiful and has a magnetic personality, but as we progress and she can't find any type of happiness she becomes kind of pathetic. The character development was pretty well done, but overall things felt a bit disjointed and some parts felt as if they could have been cut as all they were doing was making the book longer.
