Book 40
Finally, finally.
It's not that this was a bad book. It just has so many layers. The plot was fascinating and I was continually frustrated by the fact that it wouldn't move when I wanted to know what happens next.
One father, three sons from two different wives. Complicated relationships. Theology, philosophy, love and hate. A lot of people behaving badly.
Also, I felt like Russia was a character in herself. There was a bit of a monologue at the end where one brother is talking about running off to America and he makes it sound like death. That was pretty cool.
This is a good example of a book that I might have gotten more from if it hadn't taken so long. And I am not going to spend any more time writing about it, either.

Crowdrise is about online fundraising, event fundraising, volunteering and having the most fun in the world while doing it. Crowdrise is way more fun than anything else aside from being all nervous about trying to kiss a girl for the first time and her not saying something like 'you've got to be kidding me.'
