*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 2, 2022*

By far my favorite book of 2022. Originally published in 2014, but still so timely and relevant with the Russia-Ukrainian War which saw major escalation this year. The author keeps you on the edge of your seat from the very start. Instead of going down the typical path in life of “finding a good job after college", the author decides to take what was supposed to be a quick trip to the Soviet Union. Two and a half years later, amidst a number of different backdrops and life-altering decisions, you become part of his story, sitting silently, becoming one with the characters he meets along his journey. You will definitely relate to similar life situations. The people he encounters are fascinating, and sometimes frightening. Overall, the book is funny, charming and beautifully genuine. Surprising moves along the way keeps you from putting the book down. You feel his challenges, hardships, but more importantly, get to share in his celebrations and wins!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent first person narrative of a very chaotic time in the USSR.
  

*by S***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 29, 2022*

I loved this book. The immersive narrative brought me into the story. I felt the tension as the events unfolded and was never sure what would happen next.  Open this book and hold on.

David tells a really personal story of growth while weaving in monumental historical events, and topping it all off with a dash of comedy.Really enjoyed my time reading this memoir.
