About this listen
Anna Karenina seems to have everything - beauty, wealth, popularity and an adored son. But she feels that her life is empty until the moment she encounters the impetuous officer Count Vronsky.

Did he really understand the women?
What did you like most about Anna Karenina?
The character development; for the most part they were all incredibly believable.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Anna Karenina?
The train, when Anna returns from Moscow to Karenin with Vronsky in the background.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
When Anna finally gives in to Vronsky
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Definitely not. Too many characters, too many parts. It works better if you listen to a piece at a time.
Any additional comments?
I was hooked on this book until the end. Anna's final actions are incongruous with the rest of the book and destroy the strength of female 'sensibility.' There were so many more things she would have done and Tolstoy's choice tainted the rest of the book.

Beautifully read
I would recommend this to anyone.
The novel is great - read it, listen to it, you won't regret it. It is close to being a perfect work of art.
This narration does it justice. It is stupendously good. Ever since I listened to this I've really struggled to find another book that I can bear listening to. I guess I'm just going to have to work my way through David Horovitch's others now.

A beautiful book spoilt by David Horovitch
This great book was ruined by the narrator, another smacking of lips and loud swallowing narrator, makes me shudder. Emphasis was wrong in most parts, ruined the moment many a time.

Russian love
A wonderful landscape of Russian life and love in the 19th century, a age gone.

Delicate and powerful
A joy. Whilst sin may lead to madness we can invest in goodness if we so choose to. Just as relevant for us all today. Tolstoy makes the universal personal. My heart is with Ana's children.

David Horovitch is fantastic
What a stellar performance. He really makes this book. I’ve read Tolstoy before but this was spectacular - I think I understood it better and was really moved.

Overlong classic superbly read
The narrator was wonderful and the novel a great one, but large slabs were dull.
