Negative Positive
Title: A real let-down
Review: Thurbon's book got me very excited when I found it in the bookstore (sorry Amazon) as I had recently decided that I needed to know much more about the region than I did. After reading it, I have to say that Thurbon's book seems to follow a predictable pattern - Thurbon has his main point, which is that Siberia is a rotten place, and he finds locals to prove his point over and over again in a depressing manner. It doesn't seem to do justice to the region, nor is it very informative.
Is the review positive or negative?
