Title: A truly patriotic Russian.
Review: I read 'Gorky Park' because I wanted to see how the author would handle the life of a Militia investigator of the Soviet Union. I figured it would a Detective novel with ranks locations & name Russified & was pleased to find that is was a detective novel but it felt Russian. The novel was beautifully written & filled with character that had entire personalities & motivations. Gorky park was an odd in the sense that throughout the novel I came to sympathise with some characters but never completely. The Soviet factor was too strong. I could smell the cheap tobacco & taste the Vodka but not hear the rumble of the Soviet Moskovich as it slowly made its way to Gorky.
Is the review positive or negative?
