Seen this compared to Harry Potter but Harry Potter could never. This book is provocative, sexy, and intelligent. I recommend it to anyone who likes heady character studies and can stand esoteric prose.

I both loved this and had no idea what was happening at the same time. I desperately wish I spoke Russian so I could read it in it original language.
