To tell the truth, I am not quite sure why I read this book. I guess I was hoping it would inspire me to read Anna Karenina and maybe War and Peace. All I really learned is that I do not want to go to Samarkand nor do I want to study Russian to any extent. This book might have actually been physically painful for me to read, maybe that is why it took me to darn long to finish!! I do know one good thing that came from finishing it though...now I get to read the next book on my list!
I would recommend this to anyone who has a real passion for Russian literature, history and writers. Other than that, I am not sure it is worth it.
