Ilustration To Books Red Russia
Among the many things Peter doesn’t know, he doesn’t know he’s an archetype, the Prince of Coins incarnate. He doesn’t know his fiancé is a fortune teller either. He doesn’t know Russian culture, politics, or language, but he does know American business. And he knows his fiancé speaks Russian. He thinks she can make him the new Tsar of the timber industry, but first they must survive a weekend with the Russian mob. Red Russia is the story of an American businessman and his interpreter in Russia, of business, lies, and deception, of fortunes bought and told.Rating About Books Red Russia

👏 Absolutely glorious! This book was surprising and delighting me at every turn. I picked it up based on the raving Goodreads feedback and the bear image (of course). But one page in I was hooked already. This book is more of a long novella than a full-blown novel. I loved the brevity and it kept the pace exactly the way I like it: fast. The story is delivered by a narrator: a charming and wilful female rogue character with a colourful past and an enterprising spirit. She travels with her"fat american language" that genuinely made me laugh. there's quite a few good laughs in this book. i'd call it a fairly accurate (though exaggerated for comedy) look at russia today. taken too far of course, but what the hell, it's a comedy.
This book was hilarious and I appreciate good wit. I offered a 4 star simply because of the abrupt ending. I needed more.:)
very funny. imagine master and margarita written by a dota player.
Tanya Thompson Is A Goddess!I haven't written a review for this book the previous three times I read it, but now that I have noticed that oversight, I will share my enthusiasm for author Tanya Thompson and her excellent writing. This book is like no other you will read. She is in top form and this book is a ride that you will find both dizzying and addictive.Thompson has an absolutely wicked way with words, in two languages. Her wit is second to none and the plot is so outrageous it's entirely
I read this as my BRIC novel for Read Harder: it being a satire set in Russia, though its lead character would be the first to admit she is anything but. The book aims to skewer the current Russian oligarchy, and does a good and extremely entertaining job of doing this via action, comedy and increasingly large amounts of narcotics. The conceit is our heroine is the girlfriend of a tech bro who wants to do deals in Russia, and has no idea how to operate. She can translate and seems on the whole
"fat american language" that genuinely made me laugh. there's quite a few good laughs in this book. i'd call it a fairly accurate (though exaggerated for comedy) look at russia today. taken too far of course, but what the hell, it's a comedy. [why are there two listings for this book? wth?]
