I liked it, but he kept switching between the present and past tenses, and to be honest, it got a bit repetitive after a while. "Move to a new town, found a woman, gambled, sex and gambling, loose everything on a gamble, leave town for a newer one." I didn't get to volume two, which is a pity, because the Russian volume is subtitled "Nights of Passion." Too bad Catherine the Great couldn't stand him. ;)

I cannot say that I had fun while reading this one. I didn't like the storytelling that much and the writing was also not really my thing.
