La Guerre et la Paix I

I've been debating whether or not I was supposed to rate this, considering it's only the first part of War and Peace, but I just read 900 pages and won that right.
Anyway, I'm loving this novel so much. I'm way more invested in the peace parts, reading about the Russian aristocracy and their lives is always something I love. The characters are so flawed, so human and I can't wait to see the choices they'll make next (also I love Pierre despite his vices). I'm not the biggest fan of the war parts, which isn't a surprise considering I don't like Napoleon anyway, but Tolstoy is talented at describing battles, even though it doesn't interest me. It dragged at some point, but considering how much it picked up afterwards, IT WAS WORTH IT. I need to read the rest now.

"I'm loving it so far and I'm craving for more. It indeed makes 100% more sense to read it in French, as so many sentences were written in French anyway.
(This edition is only the first half of the book, I'll use this to track where I'm at in the book, I'll do the same for the other half.)"

"The war scenes aren't my favourites, as my brain has always blanked out on the Napoleonic wars, but I love reading about the Russian aristocracy so much."

"I've gotten to the amazing parts, I love it now. Side note: writing 'it was him' apparently is the way to win my heart, both Leo Tolstoy and Victor Hugo understood that haha."
