A review by drsldn
Pelagia and the White Bulldog by Boris Akunin

2.0

didn't really enjoy this very much, although I was expecting to. I'm not terribly good at absorbing character names (unless the author does a "George R. Martin" and somehow encapsulates the essence of the character in a few well-chosen sentences, so that might have been what made it difficult at first. But I think it was also that my sense of humour just doesn't respond to the almost snarky, self-satisfied clever tone used. Not a bad book, just not one that I responded to in a positive way.
