rosemarie_rung 's review for:

3.0

I had high hopes for this book after reading the reviews and really tried to like it. The Kitchen Boy is a fictionalized account of the last weeks of the Romanovs when they were in house arrest by the Bolscheviks. The story was monotonous, although well-written, and I suspect the author tried to end it with a twist, however, it just left the reader feeling cheated and used.
