 Amateurish July 15, 2009
Scott Salvato (New York, United States)
The author has a very weak grasp of 19th century Russian culture - which is tremendously important when trying to help people understand Anna Karenina.
In addition, the author whitewashes 21st century libertine morality all over the novel and makes Tolstoy seem like a free love hippie.
Although the book is about how genuine human emotion can lead people to destroy their lives and those around them through things like following love through adultery - the Sparknotes author makes it seem like the only problem in the book is those other pesky 19th century Russians who won't take a chill pill and lighten up on Anna.
Search elsewhere on the internet for free for help understanding Anna Karenina.
This Sparknotes is very misleading in its interpretation.
 A good, comprehensive introduction February 21, 2007

Without having read Anna Karenina, I feel that I have a good grasp of Tolstoy's novel. The Spark Notes give a thorough plot overview and in-depth analysis of characters and themes. I'm even tempted to tackle all 800 pages now.
