Didn’t think a follow-up to Red Notice could be this good, but the people, connections, and crime exposed in this book are wild.

Really good nonfiction book that was pretty exciting. Felt like a learned about Russia's corruption a lot. Interesting topic and written almost like a novel. My biggest gripe was I listened to the audiobook and the accents drove me crazy. A man read it and he would do a female Russian accented voice for the author's wife that was just awful.

It was an okay read.

I found it not too recent honestly. A lot of the content was a few years outdated.

However, I did find some interesting bits throughout the book!

3.6/5

The first book was better. The author clearly lives a privileged life and I found him more annoying in this book than the first. It was mostly dry. The funniest bit was when he writes that someone else described a lawyer as someone that they want to meet in a dark alley but even worse is a well lit courtroom. But that description didn’t come from the author. I had to force myself to power through certain parts of the book.

A relevant and chilling look at what Putin and the Russian government can do in an unrestricted world. The actions of Browder to keep the name of his murdered colleague alive are admirable, and hopefully saving lives and lowering Russian corruption throughout the world. This book is a must-read as an excellent follow-up on Red Notice, Browder's first book. The relevance of Trump and his cronies makes this book even more important to read to better understand how/why Trump was compromised by the Russians.
