It's been fun to read other reviews, particularly because I've seen so many, including <i>The Washington Post</i>'s, that are more enthusiastic than mine. I'll be interested to read what you think of it!Lisa C.

I think you enjoyed that one, too. Even though I didn't like it a lot, I have to admit that <i>Лёд</i> was memorable and interesting... only time will tell what I think of the next book. I've read some of the stories in <i>Первый субботник</i> and had mixed reactions. I thought <i>Сахарный кремль</i> and <i>Метель</i> were disappointing, but I think you already knew that!<br /><br />Several other readers have recommended <i>Очередь</i>, which sounds interesting. <br /><br />Thank you for the Latynina link: she sure has a variety of information on her blog!Lisa C.
