Book Favorite

"Horny, spooky, sad, smart, queer, funny…maybe my favorite book of all time. And if you’re into Law and Order SVU fan fiction, look no further."

Non-fiction hat reads like a novel (2 more)
Passion in the research
The footnotes hold some of the most interesting bits of information
300 years of history painstakingly explored
I'm not a non-fiction reader but this book was amazing. It's definitely an ambitious one, challenging itself to cover the entire 300 years of Romanov rule in Russia and managing to do justice to every era.

Crime fiction at its best
It took me a little while to get into this book, but once I did I couldn't put it down! The characters are super interesting and the amount of detail and effort that was put in to make the background information accurate is evident. Also much darker than your typical crime fiction novels.

Book I recommend to everyone
I've read extensively about WW2 and the Holocaust, both fiction and nonfiction. This is the #1 book I recommend for others interested in those subjects and honestly my top fiction recommendation overall. Great characterization, good pacing, and a tense plot jeep the pages turning. Have tissues handy - I'm not a big crier but this one definitely got to me!
