Lenin's Tomb: The Last Days of the Soviet Empire by David Remnick
5.0
I chose this book, not only because it won the Pulitzer Prize and numerous acclamations from prominent newspapers and authors, but because it was recommended to me by friends and strangers alike. I could tell—within pages—that this book was a classic and an easy inductee into the hallowed company of Books That Get Five Stars.
David Remnick is a very talented author. He has a subtle wit and charisma that transcends his pages. He relies on similes quite frequently. It was something my father pointed out to me and I couldn’t ignore it once he did. It’s unique and rewarding for the reader.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It reminded me of Evan Osnos’ book on the new China: “Age of Ambition.” In my opinion, “Lenin’s Tomb” deserves every merit and award it has ever received.
