War and Peace - Critique
“All is vanity, all falsehood, except that infinite sky.” - Prince Andrei. Written by Leo Tolstoy (1869)
Humans’ search for meaning,
All is futile,
One can’t fight history,
Napoleonic wars,
Chronicling two decades,
Pierre’s profound quest,
Andrei’s heart-breaking demise,
Natasha wanted Boris to kiss her doll - such simpler times,
Yet now a beautiful woman, unlucky in love -
One of the greatest writers that ever lived.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Working Title
For the life of me, I couldn’t remember how many of us hooked up with each other at that hot tub party at Amber’s last month, and that was probably where I picked up whatever bug this was. It was inconvenient and uncomfortable as hell, but you pay your money and you take your choice. Win some, lose some. Peaks and valleys, man. I wondered if I had time to duck out to my car and hit my pen before they called me back. Probably not. Good thing I popped that gummy before I left my pad.

Well done!!!❤️❤️💕
Can't believe I missed this, Miss seeing you in the notifications! 🥲😅
I actually don't think I've ever read this... You did such a phenomenal job summing it up, maybe I don't need to. haha! Another great one, Grz!
Never read this book but sounds like a good read
I cannot remember if I actually read this. Have to revisit. War? What is it good for, absolutely nothing. Huh!
I really should read this 😁
I just love how you write poems for your reviews! They're always so amazing!
To quote Sam Malone, "There's a movie!!!!!?" Towering writer.
I commend anyone who tackles this book :)
So, I have not read this but would love to. On the strength of this critique, it will definitely happen. If a career comes for a critiquer(?) of 50 words exactly, you must consider it.
You tackled a giant and did it perfectly! Well done Grz!
You nailed it. I was going to take this on but didn't know how I could do it within the word count constraint. You have done it perfectly.
I really like the style you use for this critique. It feels like it’s so much longer than the word count! Same with your last one actually! 🥰✨
Have a new trans to read...
I’ll have to read this!
