Calls him “Farmer Jesus” but he literally doesn’t believe in God til the second to last chapter......... no joke

can i just say it'd be so fun if you applied this format to other classics! it was so funny and clear at the same time haha

I was going to read this until you said the horse race part is like 200 pages🐸

The author watching this like: 👁👄👁

You reduced Alexei Alexandrovich Karenin and his magnanimous character to “stupid Flanders” smh 😂

This novel is not primarily a love story, and Anna is not even the main character.

i remember finding this book so difficult to read back in high school (required, english ap), i dont even know how i bullshitted through my book report. i listened to my classmates discuss the book before class and i was like, okay its about a woman who cheats on her husband and somehow the teacher believed i read it. lmao. thanks for the fantastic breakdown of the novel.

3:55 I beg to disagree, to me, Levin’s “illumination” was the part that touched me the most and stuck with me. I loved how insightful his parts were on religion, death and man’s condition. I loved the part when he was working by his men’s side, I felt like I read through it with more pleasure than I did throughout the whole book, because it was so beautiful to see him find himself

Love it! It took me 6 years to get through this book but it really was worth it. Also I really love how Tolstoy made farmer Jesus a progressive philosopher who had quite liberal views considering the time it was written in.

OMG thank you thank you thank you. I would never make it through the first few pages of any of these novels but I always had some curiosity as to what they are about. I especially appreciate the commentary, acting like a guide, you don't just bring up events but let us know what they symbolize. To the extent that a massive text can be summarized in an easy to digest video, you have done a great job.

I wonder what happened to Anna’s second baby. And did Alexei (stud guy) really love her? Or was she just a conquest to him, and then he was bored? I feel Anna put everything on the line for her lover. But Alexei was not feeling as passionate after she became his conquest. Am I wrong?

Best summary ever. So so funny and to the point omg

thanks for saving my 800pages of life！good summary

I laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed at this video! Thank you for your creativity and effort into this.

Best. Summary. Ever. THANK YOU! It's getting me through the novel...

Thank you for this synopsis. It was very hilarious. But my favorite character in this novel was Konstantin, "farmer Jesus." And I found his chapters very engaging. More so than Anna's chapters. Deeper and more insightful. Anna's chapters were more colorful but one dimensional in her meditations. Just my opinion:)

This video is incredible! Love it

Giiiiiiirl, you are a legend!!!!! Loooved this soooo much!!!

This was glorious!!!

this is fun! hope you make another videos just like this. thanks for your creativity

I am shaking with laughter. That is completely brilliant. Thank you.

This is amazing please make more of these

Hey love it, Please do more like this , much appreciated thank you.

This was like the fastest 9 minutes of my life. Stunning explanation

Ohh snap, you left out that all the well to do's are corrupt. Also Anna has BPD, her husband isn't leaving her so much as her paranoia is affecting her. Also, Tolstoy wrote as himself during a period of suicidal depression (despite being more than comfortable) so the farmer finding purpose was a cry for deeper understanding in the feilds themselves.

Thanks for making this

It was very fun to watch. Loved it.

I LOVE THIS SM

That was amazing!!!

I loved it. Thank you.

This video is insightful, accurate, helpful and totally hysterical. Any you have only 30 subs? WTF? We're doomed. Stobe the Hobo and Ralphie May have hundreds of thousands of subs and they're dead. And they're dead from eating and drinking themselves to death. We are truly doomed.

lol I loved every single minute of it !!

Thanks for the Cilffnotes! I am ready to read part 2.

this is amazing

This is so hilarious please I beg you to do a whole series of book reviews like this. My favorite novel is Jane Eyre but I’d love to see you do a review of it like this.

Awesome video!

More!! That was so much fun!!

OUTSTANDING!

This was helpful I feel enlightened now.

This was brilliant.

girrrrlllllll, i loved this narration. the tea was hot and you served it with grace.

Amazing storytelling!

Here I am, three years after you made this, thinking to myself, maybe I should broaden what I read. Tolstoy is recommended. I get a copy of him and think to myself, maybe a bit of a condensed version will help me through it. So this pops up while I'm driving to the total wine in Albuquerque, and now I will forever have to think of Tolstoy as Mr Potato Jesus as I buy a liter of potato vodka. Somehow, it all connects. Thank you for helping me on my literary journey.

This was so so so good

LOL You did a wonderful job explaining the book. LOL and You was funny too.

I agree with you and so many aspects 👌🏻

Love this!

this is a masterpiece

This was explained so hilariously.. hope to see you get more followers.. your story telling felt unique 😀

Wow this video is great! Can't believe it has almost no likes

Levin's story is so interesting, I can't believe you said it was boring

thank you!

you rock. thank you on point

That was beautiful

LOVE THISSSS

And now I have to deep dive everything you’ve made.

THIS IS ICONIC.

Your amazing at this.

I read the book a year ago, is exactly how I remember it. You just forget when Mr Mc Studman shoot himself when Anna was sick

You definitely earned a subscriber

very, very funny...thank you. at the ending i felt left high and dry as the fate of voronsky on the turkish front was not revealed. i guess he, as anna, was doomed.

No cause I lost it when you said her debutante was kinda like a quince. Great video!

This is so cool

Great video. ✍🏻

Amazing

Actually Levin was an atheist (or agnostic) until the very last few chapters of the book.

Life saver!

love your version of summery

Your are soooo good!

Thank you. Saved me from a lotttt of baggage it seems. Lol

Thank you. Now I can 99% thank God I was never forced to read this.

LOVE THIS! lmfaaaoooo

My favorite book synopsis ever! 😂

Well done, Snarky Smarty Kat, well done.

This was 100x more interesting then the book itself. Great job!

Always wanted to know the story of anna karenina... Couldn't find amy better explanation than this 😂❤❤

I don't know if the quincenera thing was a joke or not lol

This is amazing 😂

I need more summaries like this 🤣🤣🤣

Anna actually went back to her husband after surviving her ailment and Vronsky tried to kill himself because of that. THIS IS A MOVIE SUMMARY NOT A BOOK SUMMARY.

Kitty is not baby cat, but derived from Ekaterina, her name

I love how u draw vronsky puahahah

Man, now I get it !! Do I still have to read it? Niet. Ochin sposeba.

FARMER JESUS ASKING LITTLE KAT TO MARY HER VIA SCRABBLE WAS ADORABLE I HOW DARE YOU

Based on the Introduction, 'Farmer Jesus' is based on Leo Tolstoy and I doubt that someone with narcissim would write themselves as so irascibly shy they need someone to guide them through a group of people. This dude is so shy that when he gives his own views he, "spoke as hotly as if someone had spoke out against him." When nobody was bothering with him in that scene. That to me, really doesn't define someone who is so enamored with themselves that they think they're so great. I'd think he was a narcissit if he had based Stepan on himself. But Levin is to Leo in this book.

Thank you so much mam. The repetition of farmer Jesus being Tolstoy himself and him being a narcissist totally had me rolling. 😂

How painting could ever be boring? Art thread is probably reason why I'm going to read this book.

I always wondered what happened to count hotty aka mcstud man after Anna aka sexy Anna died? also did mcstud love Anna or was it lust? and was he cheating on her or was it in sexy annas mind?

Coooolllll

This is gold!! Lmaooo

Make more videos like this😁

THAT'S MY FAVOURITE VIDEO ON KZfaq. OHMYILOVEYOU HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

His has saved me from reading an 800 page book with irrelevant scenes

Absolutely best summary ever, well done! Puts Thug Notes to shame. But yeah in a word, super boring is the best metaphor for this book.

never thought that i'd hear the walking putin music

I got to the part where Anna survives, and the dude was like "omg, I know I just said I wish she'd die, but I actually love her again" and I had to look up a summary cause I was just fyckinf lost at that point

I disagreed so much w the takes but loved the vid so much anyway. A+ would watch again.

After finishing the book today all I can say is DAMN I WISH I WATCHED YOUR VIDEO FIRST

Tolstoi was like: "how can i do this novel be about me?" *girlypop voice*

“Not friendly for freshman” I READ THIS IN 8TH GRADE INTO 9TH GRADE BAHAHAHA
