This book is incredible monotonous. All the characters feel the same and there is too much of them. They're introduced by name and given a police sketch-up artist description. Something I've felt also in Anna Karenina is that all characters are aristocratic, many are princes or princesses. Overall the prose is too descriptive, it feels very stereotyped Russian.
