Loved it! Definitely, one of my favorite reads in a long while! I wouldn't recommend to every reader, but whoever enjoys literature, historical, philosophical and sociological read will probably enjoy it. All that might sound snobbish, but it's a book about the most delightful aristocrat ever and his social circle through the decades of being in house-arrest  after the Russian revolution.
