Title: Fast paced, but slow enough to develop the Siberian atmosphere well.
Product review: "Siberian Light" (light as in light crude) is a fast-paced book that goes slow enough to build an entertaining and seemingly genuine picture of a Siberian town. For those fascinated by Siberia, like myself, it is the perfect treat for, say, in-flight reading. I'd equate the ease of reading to one of Lee Child's Reacher novels. The characters are like-able, not superhuman, but w/o pathetic flaws and the plot has all the straight-line simplicity and redundancy that makes such books good entertainment. Some of the dialog between Chuchin and Novek stands out as pretty snappy. I'll certainly be reading another one of White's novels as a result of having enjoyed this one.
