I really enjoyed the part where she was giving tours in the empty museum. That is so cool that it is based off of a real person in history. Thanks for the review! I will be linking yours to my review as well.

I was actually disappointed by this book (sorry!) ... I think I liked the IDEA of it more than the actual book. In college I studies lots of Russian/Soviet history so I loved that part, but I just felt that the book was rushed, and that the characters needed more development.Heather J. @ TLC Book Tourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10474181812740579350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008131509611971593.post-60561022895487978262008-08-22T08:11:00.000-04:002008-08-22T08:11:00.000-04:00I liked this when I read it, but not as much as yo...I liked this when I read it, but not as much as you!
