review 1: Imagine a full length book about a foreign man finding his host country and its native inhabitants to be repellant and backwards. No, it is no Heart of Darkness. Now imagine a wobbly sort of second person modified superstructure, addressing a future fiancee in a series of notes on prior life experiences that demanded disclosure and forgiveness. I got the strong sensation reading this that I'd love to sit down the author, say "interesting draft," and advise just a wee bit more substantial scaffolding. You be the judge, ye humans
review 2: I read this book expecting it to be amazing. It was not. Although as its saviour it was not completely atrocious, it is still gripping and I enjoyed reading it although the print is quite large and the book not very big, if it ... morewas any longer I think it would have been too tedious and I would not have bothered. This book does give an informative view of modern Moscow which is fascinating and the narrator sees himself as a flawed character and this comes across very strongly, although in my opinion I would say that he is only human. A massive plus for this book is I liked how it was written the narrator is retelling what happened in Moscow to his fiance which you find out early on and this enormously adds to the suspense and excitement of the book which is present but not in bucket loads. However I think it ended too abruptly and I would have liked to have something at the end about what his fiance decided and what she thinks about the events. Overall I found the book quite enjoyable but it is built up to be over something amazing and I actually found that what happened to the narrator in Moscow to be rather disappointing and a major let down. Not the thriller I thought it would be. less
