one of those goodreads reviews said it wasn't all that good, so i decided not to read it. i'm a better person for it, i think.

It's p gud.

Another Soviet novel about Stalingrad is Days And Nights by Konstantine Simonov.
It was a big hit and wasn't confiscated by the government.

I think it's excellent. Just a question of whether you're willing to actually read it. And of course I read it in translation, so...

>It gets compared to War and Peace a lot, so it must be good.

Every obscure russian 'masterpiece' gets compared to war and peace, usually by the trust-fund middle-managers hoping this obscure reprint wont flop. No one would buy it otherwise

Except it's partially a commentary on 'War and Peace', so of course you have to compare them, you fucking moron.
