Okay, I promised a detailed review when I finished, and I did finish the book this weekend. You can read my review on Goodreads, too.

Now that you've finished it I can reveal that I couldn't get past the death of Prince Andrei and that was where my reading came to a juddering (and terminal) halt.

I suspected as much because it nearly stopped me dead, too. Only my concern for the Rostov's got me past the interminable chunk of crap that immediately follows Andrei's anger-inducing death.

Saw a very interesting 2 part documentary about Tolstoy by Alan Yentob a while back. If it ever comes your way, well worth watching.
