Stalingrad by Vasily Grossman is by far the longest book yet on the library challenge weighing in at 900 pages, and this is only the prequel, lol. I didn't enjoy it that much, I have to admit. It had a massive cast list, I didn't know who I was reading about half the time, although there was a list of characters at the back but a lot of them had very similar Russian names and it was quite strangely ordered. Sections of it were good, if you like War and Peace you'll probably like this. I prefer books with a small cast list. 6/10
