This was quite a fun and lighthearted read. I think you have to be in a specific mood to enjoy the book, as the whole charm of it is how ridiculous the plot can be, but if you are up for a silly plot with some world history chucked in then this is the book for you. I found at some points that it moved a bit slow for me, but it was still worth sticking it out to the end.

This book always calls to my dark sense of humour, it’s absurdity is so fun to experience.
This book is basically 100+ years of social drinking with vodka. Skål!!
