I totally read all the words that are between the two covers of this book. What? Wikipedia summary? I didn't check the Wikipedia summary to see how it ended and abandoned it, how dare you!Sorry? Do I agree with [a:James Joyce|5144|James Joyce|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1358276521p2/5144.jpg] tha...
Surprisingly good and a great psychological thriller! Classic literature isn't really my thing but all the Russian novels I've read so far, I've liked if not loved.

Granted, I have only read three of the Russian...

Man kills pawnbroker, man gets sick, man gets sick aga...
