challenging informative slow-paced
Information fascinating, with a lot of irritating skips. Can't decide if it's a history or a ballet review.

As someone who has no knowledge of Russian history or of ballet in general, this book is incredibly full of enriching information, compiled and written in a logical narrative which is clear and easy to follow. I read it in its entirety in a matter of two days, practically devoured it, as it was too fascinating to set down.
