Great Book!

The size of the book overwhelmed me at first, but once I managed to pick it up and start reading, I couldn't put it down again! Each page is full of vivid detail and the reader soon becomes a part of the story, living each moment with the main characters. This book is a definite must! The only thing I regret is taking so long to getting around to read it!

A matter of Love and Death--not for the weak!

This is a tale of historical content, rape, war, death, the occult fringes, prostitution, loss, gain,hopeless times; and this is mostly a story about the many places in the heart, mind, body, and soul where love finds a way in. It is not a story for the weak or childish, nor to the prejudiced. I, however,highly recommend it to those with an open mind and an open soul.The story is long, yet the reader flies through this spellbinding story. Read it!

Hard to put down!!!!!!!

A fantastic book indeed!!! I really enjoyed it! The way it was written, the format, and the story itself was & is just wonderfully written. I am a very picky reader when it comes to books, & when I started to read this, WOW!!! I am still reading it, almost done,. but I just wanted to praise this book & tell ya'll out there that this is a bok that will definitely get your' interest!!!!!

Addictive! Could not wait to read more!

The Russian names and unusual spellings were difficult at first, but if I had bothered to read the informatiion provided, in the front of the book, I would have had a much easier time. :)I very quickly fell under a spell cast by the writer. Sasha is a character one feels great kinship toward. His hardships, and joys, keep you glued to all 843 pages of this magnificent novel.I kept rushing through work, and took the book with me everywhere I went, just to be able to consume more of the story, should I have a spare moment.Believe it or not, after all those pages, I want to know more!Loved this book, it touched me deeply, and I recommend it to anyone searching for meaning in their painful, yet, ever-so-short life.

Excellent, love and spirit will overcome all!

I have to admit that I was initially somewhat taken aback by the story of homosexual love that is prevelant in this book. However, as I continued to read I was overwhelmed by the pureness of the love expressed between two souls. Soul love is not a respecter of age, social station, nor gender. This book should serve us as a reminder of that. Heartily recommended.
