The War & Peace Read-a-Long: Week Eleven


First off, a huge thanks to Charlotte who stepped in and pulled some great prompts together at less-than-short notice when I wasn't very well last week. Bless her and her generally-always-helpful-ness. Thank you :)

Secondly, WE'VE FINISHED WAR & PEACE!!! Well, not counting the Epilogue, which we'll have to read next week, but we've finished the book itself. Can you believe it? It's been eleven weeks, but we're finally here. I could actually do a little dance with excitement :)

Next week, when WE HAVE FINISHED WAR & PEACE, we'll do a little survey thing instead of a complete wrap-up post. I think I might do a proper cohesive review as well, but that is by no means obligatory and depends completely how sick I am of Tolstoy by that point.

This week's prompts (not many left now!):

1) Do you think the book ended in a funny place or did it seem like a logical place for the story to end?

2) How do you see the characters five years on from now? Will everybody get a happy ever after? 

3) Do you think Tolstoy is a biased narrator? If so, in what way?

4) Are you still enjoying this book or are you honestly just waiting for the damn thing to stop talking?
