One of my reasons for rating books is if it makes me want to know more about another subject or book. This book made me want to read Dr. Zivago because of the huge spy network it took to get it into the hands of the Russians. This was also a book about the Russian author and his muse. The chapters were very interesting in how they were titled, with crosshatches that showed the progression of the characters. And of course, it is interesting to see that the lifestyles that are so commonplace today were in such an underground in the 50's, yet very vibrant. There were some confusing parts such as the chorus of the steno girls, but also they were a great narration once I figured out who they were, more like backup singers than main players. I'm always interested when there are new ways of writing books even after all these years of literary styles.
