Well the review is regarding the delivery and condition of the book. I received the book on 2nd day after placing order. so yes the delivery was pretty fast but it might vary in your case depending upon the location where it has to be delivered. Speaking about the condition of the book, as you can see in the pictures it is excellent. The print too is very good,there is no over printing or faded text which is generally the main issue with paperbacks. The text size is a little small but you have to bear with it as i guess it is similar in other publications too since the book is quite elaborate with more than 500000 word count. But that wont be the problem as after a while you get used to it. For just 130 rs + delivery it is value for money. Though i was expecting a bookmark too, which was not delivered with the book . Summing up! It is an excellent purchase. Read more

I've finally finished the book everyone has heard of but very few have read.Like a great many worthwhile things in life,it rewards effort.958 closely typed pages aren't going to be read quickly but stick in there as this book truly is an epic.It tells the story of several russian families from 1804 until after the 1812 campaign through,as it says on the cover,war and peace.The story alternates between Russia's wars with napolean and the characters who participate in them and the lives of those left behind at home. To be quite honest i sometimes found some of the peace parts a drag but Tolstoys accounts of the wars are outstanding and riveting-the notes say he served in war as a soldier in his own times and this is evident in his writing. There are a vast range of both main and secondary characters in the book,it can be quite difficult to keep up at times,but for a novel with such an epic scope this couldnt be otherwise.All the characters are three dimensional,secondary as well as main. I've often found in reading other 19th century novels that there seems to be a lot of "padding"-why use one word when twenty will do?I do not feel that this is something you could say with this book-its very long but it has a lot of ground to cover. The only fault i could give to the actual book is the constant need to flick back and fore to the notes at the end;They might better have been included as footnotes though of course the edition is maybe trying to remain true to the original page numbering so this may not have been possible.The book itself kept its shape and binding well,theres not even a spine crease despite the 1 and a half months of reading!I paid £1.74 for this,i think the value for money speaks for itself. In closing,I feel that the biggest compliment i could give this is that any novelists reading it must surely despair at what they have to aspire to.Supurb Read more

Amazing book, it's a little bit complicated but in time you will get it! Leo Tolstoy , is a Russian author, many people criticized his book for not being novel-like but Leo Tolstoy taught that novel are western-like but Russian people are different and live different so war and peace is kinda like a novel, a Epic poem,a story , historic dive, and a masterpiece.
