Reviews
This is one of the very few books I've started but not finished. It has all the elements of something I'd like: I'm fascinated by Russian history, the Gulag in particular. And the plot line is very intriguing, but none of came together for me. It really felt like this book was written so that it could be turned into a movie. I'm no expert on literature, but the prose was very boring to me. In places it seemed the author was trying to be scenic and descriptive, but just wasn't up to the task. The dialogue seemed very out of place for the era in history in which the story happens.I wish I could give this a better review, but I wouldn't recommend this one.
