Title: I love Tolstoy, but...
Review: I kept waiting for Tolstoy to get off the soapbox, but it never happened. The writing is classic, and the characterization very easy to follow. But the payoff was lacking -- it seemed to me that the book was more interested in making a point (which I think was Tolstoy's object anyway) than actually having a book that provides a true novel experience. I suppose my review expresses my disappointment, as Tolstoy is one of my all-time favorite writers.
Is the review positive or negative?
