I have never dabbled in anything Russian, so I wonder if many of these Russian ideas/concepts will go right over my head?Cursed Armadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11231771423272385479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5978497880525976810.post-90740476106904623352011-12-01T10:54:01.013-08:002011-12-01T10:54:01.013-08:00Great review.

Because that may absolutely be a stylistic choice he made.<br /><br />The slow pace getting started, but then also Part I has a point that could be an end to Book 1. And then Part II has almost an entirely new beginning middle and end I felt.Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18030992882575439420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5978497880525976810.post-77429739372910746932011-12-01T10:28:14.352-08:002011-12-01T10:28:14.352-08:00Interesting points, Justin.
