the movie was okay. Long, but ok. Sorta.
The book was good by the standards of the time in which it was written. By todays standards, and I’m not talking the literature people who think if it hurts to read something, it must be good–it is slow and there is too much exposition.
I’d give my kid the clif notes version. It does make a good foot rest when you’re at the computer. 🙂

I am in seventh grade and currently reading War and Peace. So far it is one of my favourite books, very addicting. It is the kind of book (well to me at least) that you can't put down, you just have to find out what happens. I defiantly recommend reading it.

It is one of the greatest novels of all time. It is at the same time a domestic story of the fortunes of two noble Russian families and a national epic of Russia's struggle, defeat and final victory over Napoleon. It is in a class of its own and makes the books on modern fiction best seller lists seem very pallid, simplistic and unimportant in terms of literary merit.
