I especially liked it being written in modern times because i could relate to what was going on in some of the scenes and i always had a good visual of what was going on throughout the whole novel. I thought it was action packed the whole time. It reminded me of a Russian version of James Bond. Volk's Game was a great read and i cant wait to read the next novel you have in progress.nate harmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04764518936686589423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4250791139699493484.post-50485521099216919812009-11-30T19:38:17.513-08:002009-11-30T19:38:17.513-08:00I think that no matter what a person writes about ...I think that no matter what a person writes about Russia the reader will create images within their own mind that represent what they know to be true about Russia. Whether what the reader knows to be true about Russia is based on stereotypes or whether what the reader knows to be true about Russia is based on factual knowledge...the reader will create images as they read stories about Russia. As I read Volk's Game images came to me of facts and fictions that I know about Russia. However, something else also happened as I read Volk's Game. I began to wonder if what I believe I know about Russia is fact or fiction. So, the reading of your book has opened my mind up to reading some of the other books about Russia that sit on my book shelf collecting dust. And, it has also opened my mind to discover more about the history of Chechnya. Thank you for writing Volk's Game...I sincerely hope you keep on writing about Russia.julie.r.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08666880202610007612noreply@blogger.com
