Banned in the Soviet Union until 1988, Doctor Zhivago is the epic story of the life and loves of a poet-physician during the turmoil of the Russian Revolution. Taking his family from Moscow to shelter in the Ural Mountains, Yuri Zhivago finds himself embroiled in a battle between the Whites and the Reds and in love with the beautiful nurse Lara.

A dense, sometimes theoretical but beautiful written
An engaging reader on what is a classic story, filled with theory, humanity, a hard historical period with evocative, and poetic language

Tedious
I struggled to finish this book. I suspect it was smuggled out of the USSR before the editing process had pared back the superfluous text.
There were characters who were chance meetings that were fleshed out more than some of the repeat characters.
The dialogue (and actions) of all the female characters made them sound like escaped lunatics.
If you want to know the story, check out the synopsis on Wikipedia - everything important that happened without the mind-numbing tedium of sitting through 20 hours.
The narrator had a pleasant enough voice, but after a few hours, he pretty much stopped differentiating between the male and female characters. He also possibly contributed to the female characters sounding dotty.
