Negative Positive
Title: Dissapointing
Review: I have read and enjoyed dozens of titles in the 'Very Short Introduction' series however this one was a disappointment. As pointed out in a previous review, the book lacks a coherent flow and jumps between time periods in a confusing manner. Many important figures and events are not properly introduced or placed into context and a great deal of prior knowledge is assumed. This book may be helpful for someone who already has some knowledge of Russian history however I would not recommend it to anyone seeking a 'short introduction' to the subject.
Is the review positive or negative?
