3.0

The substance of the book is incredibly compelling, relevant, and disturbing. I'm very grateful the author did what he did and shared his (and importantly, Magnitsky's) story. Not the author's fault he's a finance guy and not a writer; the frequent details about his wealthy lifestyle and righteous campaigning did feel pretty tone-deaf after a certain point, though.

adventurous emotional informative inspiring tense medium-paced

This is by far my most favorite read this year. I already have a soft spot on Russian vibes. Bill Browner is an excellent story teller of his life. It's was very informative about his career trajectory. And feel the excited gold mine he found in Russia. And how inspiring to himself directly challenging Russia. Which he could have died. Never once a book hook me up I read 100 pages just in one sitting. Everything is such a thriller roller coaster!
