Realistic and well told story, fab lead character 
None other than book fell apart in my hand Builds suspense well, fast-paced Thinly plotted, not always believable Entertaining, a light read Too many coincidences, slightly disappointing ending A clever story that spans over nearly a decade in it's entirety... Very bleak reading and not the nicest of stories... Funny, deadpan writing that portrays a world of darkness and intrigue Not everybody may like Kurkov's styleCowards - Marcus Sedgwick
