Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3,826
Often called the greatest novel ever written, War and Peace is at once an epic of the Napoleonic wars, a philosophical study, and a celebration of the Russian spirit. Tolstoy's genius is clearly seen in the multitude of characters in this massive chronicle, all of them fully realized and equally memorable.

If you, like me, have never had an opportunity to sit and read this book from cover to cover (it's MASSIVE), here's your chance to finally appreciate its genius. The narrator, Frederick Davidson, is amazing. He was able to perfectly capture the dialects and diction of that earlier era. Five stars! I only regret I can't give him a "10"!
A new Tolstoy fan is born! I'm going after "Anna Karenina" next.
