A review by upyernoz
October: The Story of the Russian Revolution by China Miéville

3.0

I enjoyed some of Mieville’s fiction, so I was excited when I heard about this book, a nonfiction account of the period between the overthrow of the Tsar in February 1917 through the October revolution 8 months later. The book, while fine, did not read like a novel as much as I expected. Although I did like it and learned a bit, it was less fun to read than I expected.
