“Like other russian novels i have read, the death of ivan ilych is written in a style that is somewhat alien to me. first off, the multi-syllabic russian names are so foreign, and in some cases so similar, that i might not have any idea who's being discussed. also, names are given to characters that only appear for about a paragraph, and in the end theres twenty names, and only four of them are of any significance.

that being said, its not bad, just hard to get used to. not as hard as a clockwork orange, which might as well have been written in a different language, but if you haven't read something by Tolstoy before, you might not enjoy this. also, before reading this book i understood that it would be about the despair of a man before he dies, but tostoy never managed to convey that sense of depair to me.”
“Possibly the only Tolstoy stuff I won't give up on because it was short and easy to read. Love the title.”
