Negative Positive
Title: Very Fascinating
Review: I was fairly young when I first read the Death of Ivan Ilyich, and the man's story fascinated me. It is a book in itself, not a siderunner to Tolstoy's enormous (and more than a little tedious) and more famous works such as War and Peace. The way Ivan Ilyich's thoughts swing from hopeful to despondent is interesting and reflects fundamental human psychology. Tolstoy is indeed a great author.
