Amazon's disappointed reader-reviewers vs. Tolstoy's Anna Karenina:
- I could not stand all of the boring Russian politic talk or Levin and his boring farming or hunting talk.
- A huge book full of nothing.
- I say that if you are publishing a novel, let it have a story line. Anna's hardly even in the story anyway.
- I found the book to be incredibly boring and hard to follow.
- I never again want to read a "romance" novel where thirty pages are wasted describing how fields were "mowed" in Russia 100 or so years ago!!!
- Well, this could be an OK story if, you know, it was a short story.
- There were too many details, none of which were that interesting.
