very indepth look at the French invasion of Russia, but the epilogue[about history, free will and necessity] killed it.

Well, I was reading it deliberately slowly and was really enjoying it. Then he got up on his soapbox right at the end and just tore down all the enjoyment I had built up to that point.
When I read it again sometime I’ll probably skip the end. Or do a separate rating or something, you know?

Ah, Russian novels. I generally avoid. And the names! I need a notebook to keep track of everyone.

Thankfully I have found I like the Russian mindset and not just for the Classics. I guess I’m a gloomy gus like them 😀
Oh wait, hang on…

You are so right about the names! The edition I read had a name index in the front with names, connections, surnames, pet names and then “random” names as far as I could tell. I couldn’t have read it without it.
