War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy REVIEW

i really don't remember anything about middlemarch i remember liking it at the time but what is it even about

the great darkness at the heart of all of war and peace's characters is what makes this book not just a really great novel but one of the most important works of art one of those rare truly essential works of art that we should cherish as one of our greatest achievements as a species because it shows in very clear terms the workings of our own inner lives of our minds and our hearts and our emotions and feelings
