Russian Roulette: The Story of an Assassin by Anthony Horowitz
5.0
Yassen Gregorovich did not want to be a killer.
Circumstances brought 14-year-old Yasha to Moscow after his parents untimely death. He was supposed to meet a friend of her parents who would help him and took him in but it turned out in betrayal. He was forced to became thief to survive. And later on, an assassin. A contract killer. The most ruthless and merciless of them all.
The story started by narrating Gregorivich’s young life. It was a slow burn but once you get on with it, it’s really hard to put down. I love the part when he met John Rider. Rider was so cool, very professional. I was emotional on the part where Yassen Gregorovich came back to Sharkovsky’s mansion and put 5 bullets in a gun and played Russian Roulette with his own life.
He was decided that whatever happens, he will not regret his decision. It was such a power move! 5/5 for this book. Anthony Horowitz never fails to give life to his characters.
