I found this so gripping at the start. I was hooked on Bill Browder's story! I was getting all of the aspects of my favourite sorts of nonfiction books including a drama-filled narrative story that reads like fiction and a history lesson, with the focus here being the economics and politics behind Soviet Russia.

I kinda lost focus with the book in the latter half and I'm not sure whether I felt like the book could have been trimmed down or whether it was my personal life getting in the way and making me not feel like reading, but I did lose a little bit of steam with it.

Still, a brilliant read, ultimately focused on one incredibly brave man. More people should know his story!

If you've heard scary things about Russia's political regime, but don't know any details and you're curious to know more, this is a must read.
