"Crime novel with phony presentation of Russia"
If you are looking for a crime novel to enjoy unbelievable twists of the plot written by talented author and narrated by a very good narrator, you will enjoy this book. But do not try to "learn russian soul" using this book. It is breathtakingly phony in that regard.
Narrator is very good but he did not bother to learn correct pronunciation of Russian names of hotels, cities etc. If he would give a bottle of Vodka with caviar to any russian drunkard with fur hat and ask him to help, he would do much better job:).
"Sometimes hard to follow narrator"
Good character development.
Very exciting ending!
It was often hard to distinguish who was talking in the book as the narrator rarely changed tones between characters.
Already a film for this book. Interested to see it now.
"Very good listen"
Yes, good story, good narration
No, I really liked him
The ending
I'm looking forward to listening to more of this authors books
