Review title: Worst book I read/taught in a long time. Waste of time.
Product review: This book has got to be one of the worst books that I have read in my entire life and I am ashamed to have to teach it for the IGCSE. The problem of the organic intellectual in this book seems to have been completely ignored by most reviewers. The author has absolutely nothing to do with Leningrad, and thus, the entire account is based on speculation. Consequently, the novel sounds more like British propaganda than anything remotely authentic.Furthermore, the novel reads terribly, with adjectives inserted gratuitously for no apparent reason other that to mystify the reader and create awkward sentences. As a result, reading this novel is a painful experience, which my students will unfortunately have to share with me.I would like to add, that my girlfriend and my brother, all three of us Literature B.A.s from different universities, also found this novel to be a terrible read. Not only is it a waste of money but a waste of time.
