Petropolis by Anya Ulinich
4.0
"Petropolis" -Anya Ulinich (2007)
I picked up this book on a whim, interested because of the "hip" looking cover art. After reading the summary, I lost a bit of interest. But once I began reading? I was hooked. I liked especially how the story was broken down into separate parts to tell each leg of the main character's journey. While I couldn't necessarily relate to any of the characters, I think what I enjoyed so much was that I learned a lot and saw the world (if only momentarily) through the eyes of someone completely unlike myself, with a different background and culture and experiences...and that's what made it such an entrancing read.
