Status Updates From Восьме життя (для Брільки)

I feel like a Lonely Planet guide to Georgia has more history, heart, emotion and culture than this book. The Wikipedia entry for 'chocolate' makes me crave a hot chocolate more than this book's descriptions of its addictive, best-in-the-world recipe. I care more about and know more about the people who have written blurbs on the cover than the characters within its pages, who I have spent 200 gruelling pages with.
