4.0 out of 5 stars Engaging little book, 21 May 1999
By A Customer
An engrossing account of Tolstoy's spiritual crisis, in which he grapples with the apparent meaningless of his life and existence in general.. As a person who went through a similar experience, this book meant a lot to me -- we had so many common feelings and struggles. It is very well-written and doesn't take long to read... well-worth it! My one complaint is that the book kind of leaves you hanging -- he goes through what led to his crisis but you're left wishing to know how his faith develops... but, there are other books by him about it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great commentary on life, 5 Jun 1998
By A Customer
When reading A Confession I felt as if I were listening to a wise, animated friend. This book spoke to me. Tolstoy convincingly details the reasons not to live only to conclude that the best thing to do is to continue living. Since it is not a particularly well-known Tolstoy work, I thought it deserved some promotion here. It really is wonderful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mandatory Reading, 23 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This was perhaps the greatest book I have ever read. What a trip! In just a short hour I experienced the devestating effects of a horrible depression to the uplifting accounts of unimaginable faith through an extraordinary man. I believe this should be mandatory reading for all highschool/college students. Setting the religious aspects aside, Tolstoy's unique contemplating process is one that I feel we should all be aware of. He examines everything; leaving no stone unturned. What a great work of art!
