-This was a Good Reads first reads win!-
Spoilers?
To cut to the chase I really loved this book. I loved pausing after reading something so beautifully written by Sean Michaels to soak it in. I loved imagining George Gershwin and Glen Miller jamming at Dr Theremin's house. I especially loved the tragic second half of the book.
But the thing I did not like, or rather, found the least compelling was Termen's love for Clara. It's strange though, I feel like it worked for the story, and Termen needed something to hold onto when he gets back to Russia, but I couldn't help but find him a bit insufferable for not moving on when she turned him down in the first place.
