However, it's a work of fiction and I'm just more interested in a more objective take. I've been on a bit of a Russian kick recently; it's so fascinating!Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16522216487902196948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256360525055215650.post-76251705608715841772012-07-24T05:04:15.803-07:002012-07-24T05:04:15.803-07:00Hmm, this totally would have interested me if I sa...Hmm, this totally would have interested me if I saw it on the shelves at the library too. I'm glad you reviewed it so that I know I should probably pass.<br /><br />Rasputin is such a fascinating figure in Russian history (which is just chock full of crazy folk), but I don't think I want to read the sainted portrayal of him. Even just the truth is going to be interesting without much embellishment. Whatever may be the case about him, I'm pretty sure it's not that he's saintly. <br /><br />Now I want to read some good Russian stuff!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.com
