I recall my sister saying that this book has a lot of characters and at times it was hard to keep up. But, she eventually finished it and has become one of her favorite books. In
War and Peace, Tolstoy mentions too many details, the names are hard, and a lot of times the narrator goes off-topic. But I guess this was the standard with Russian literature, most are long and ponderous.
