Anna Karenina (Cliffs Notes)

Rating:
Summary: Cliff's Notes are terrible
Review: If you want a book and the enjoyability of reading a book to be totally spoiled, go buy Cliff's Notes. I think they should be illegal. Luckily, many colleges ban these offensive and utterly dispicable little yellow books. Its like playing only the first 10 notes to Beethoven's 5th symphony, its like only hearing only the first min. of Bach's Toccatta and Fugue in D minor. Read the book. Don't waste your hard earned money on pamphlets written by out of work graduate students.

Summary: This book is my favorite
Review: This book is great. When I first saw this book I thought that it is boring because it's quite thick. Yet after reading this book I realized that one cannot judge a book based on its size. It's really a good book. It's about the Russian society. After reading this book I learned a great deal about the author. Leo Tolstoy is one of my favorite character. I think that "Anna Karenina" is one of his best works. The liked all the characters especially Levin. A strong relationship grows up between Levin and his peasants. After reading this book I have fallen in love with the countryside. The note helped a lot to understand the story. In the book some parts became hard for me to understand, so I used the note to understand. My point is that when I don't really get into some parts of a story at that time it becomes really hard for me to follow the story. It also become boring to me. The note really helps me out at that time. It makes a boring story very interesting.
