Doctor Zhivago - Boris Pasternak - One Star ☆
Yeah, yeah, I know... won the Nobel Prize and the Soviet Union would not let Pasternak leave the country to accept his award. But I didn't find it an interesting enough read to finish. One Star.
It's just another windswept Russian steppe story withering in the summer heat, freezing in the winter cold with a war to supply some action. Isn't that a Russian genre? Tolstoy did that. Solzhenitsyn did that.
I'm not saying it isn't a good read. I am saying I didn't finish it.
Oh, and the movie is too long also.
George W. Parker
