Negative Positive
Title: This book deserves no rating
Review: I first read War & Peace at 17, and have read it cover to cover three times since. I would not be exaggerating when I say that I have read the ballroom scene where Prince Andrei met and danced with Natasha over 500 times; the window scene where he happened to eavesdrop on her conversation with Sonya about 300 times; Andrei's ruminations while passing the aged oak over 200 times, and his proposal to Natasha over 100 times. Why this endless fascination? Simple - Andrei & Natasha ar real people to me (more real than some flesh and blood people I know). I've come back to the book again and again simply because I love them, and want to experience with them the joys, the fears, the ecstasy, the doubts, the uncertainties, and the hundred other emotions that assail the captivated heart. For me, the rest of the book is just a frame. Natasha and Andrei's relationship is the picture that I will admire for the rest of my life.
