I had to read the whole thing twice at school, and I still think it's not worth reading. Ony one idea being expressed along all the storyline is not enough to attract the reader's attention. And IMHO this book has nothing else but Tolstoy's contemplations on the role of a single person in history. That's probably why it was so widely introduced in soviet schools, where the children were taught that it wasn't king *** or general ** who won some war, but the people of country **** at the times of king ***. Though probably I'm wrong. Many people told me that as they grew older they really wanted to reread that book, and they enjoyed it.
