Reviews

[Margarita · Rating 5 out of 5]

С удовольствием читаю Акунина - практически все, что он написал, читается с интересом. И стиль просто прекрасный.

[Ivanka Voytsekhovych · Rating 3 out of 5]

It is a beach book, nothing deep or thought-provoking. Akunin didn't manage to write like Dostoievskyi and it seemed lame. The novel's plot is hard to believe, but Dostoievskyi's draft is good enough.
