Dr. Zhivago: Review by Carissa
I have seen the classic version of this film with Omar Sharif and Julie Christie a few times over the years and it has always been such an beautiful, epic love story. It is so descriptive that I felt transported to Russia in the early 1900's as I was driving in the sunshine through the streets of California. This audiobook is truly a treasure. There were a few surprises in the original story that I didn't expect such as Yuri's additional wife and family. Sadly, I felt it took away from the desperate romance that I found this story to be. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I am so glad we decided to read it over the holidays.

Have to admit it - I couldn't get through this one... Shameful since I have been to Russia and loved all things Russian (well, not communism...). I am going to give it a stab again. I'm learning that so much is influenced by the mood you are in when reading a book - how much time you have - the weather... I will give it a go!
