Tolstoy's epic masterpiece intertwines the lives of private and public individuals during the time of the Napoleonic wars and the French invasion of Russia.

The fortunes of the Rostovs and the Bolkonskys, of Pierre, Natasha, and Andrei, are intimately connected with the national history that is played out in parallel with their lives. Balls and soirées alternate with councils of war and the machinations of statesmen and generals, scenes of violent battles with everyday human passions in a work whose extraordinary imaginative power has never been surpassed. The prodigious cast of characters, both great and small, seem to act and move as if connected by threads of destiny as the novel relentlessly questions ideas of free will, fate, and providence. Yet Tolstoy's portrayal of marital relations and scenes of domesticity is as truthful and poignant as the grand themes that underlie them.

The story is so much more accessible than I have been made to believe, and my favorite part was definitely the characterization and following each of the major plot lines. The vocal performance was awesome as well.

Come on! Anatole is a grade A creep and way below Natasha's league. Tolstoy puts Natasha into a flimsy love triangle and taints the story in my opinion. I had to throw out this review with 31.25 hours left in the audiobook because I didn't want the rest of this virtual mega novel to swamp the memory of the cheesiness of the Natasha and Anatole hookup at that lady's house. Hang in there Natasha. Just a little longer until you and your Daddy Prince exchange vows.

Fascinating story with background information and an evaluation of mankind.
Respect to Jonathan. He read it from the beginning to the end in a involving manner.

The performance was sublime. This narrator used so many different voices and impersonations that the story was very easy to listen to and easier to follow with all of the different characters. Fantastic work. Unfortunately this book has long dry stretches such as the end where it’s 3+ hours of mansplaining.. just really killed the story. Skip the epilogue
