Jul 28, 2017
Peter Pomerantsev is a veteran reporter for Russia, and his tongue and cheek yet informative look into the country is engaging, concerning and at times just plain insane.
The book itself meanders through a variety of topics, mostly based on the writer's experiences of working on various television programmes for state sponsored networks, therefore doesn't strictly stick to the nitty gritty political system.

However - the twists and turns to get to the climax are absolutely gut wrenching, the first personal dialogue writing in a journal is engaging and the contemporary plot is interesting - so it's well worth the read. Catherine Steadman is a great performer - and it reminded me of listening to Paula Hawkin's character - there are clear similarities. Overall, definitely worth any hype.

This was a slower book than I normally pick up. I had to read it for one of my classes, but it was pretty interesting. It was cool to be able to see the overlapping instances from chapter to chapter and even be able to see those same kind of overlaps in the past and present sections.
The characters didn't have anything particularly likable to them, but they were so well written that I didn't care that I didn't overly like them as people.
