The writer's style really didn't appeal to me, and I generally dislike novels that sacrifice the story in order to wander around having strange encounters (I call it Alice in Wonderland syndrome).Ted Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09022309459554237650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319453613836766610.post-46248035258939131542014-01-04T16:27:11.537+01:002014-01-04T16:27:11.537+01:00It's disappointing that the secret history of ...It's disappointing that the secret history of Moscow only got 2 stars.

I could have done without the unnecessary supernatural elements, but they were okay as well.
