Customer Review:

I've always had a certain misconception about what people who go to prison are like. I suppose this is... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Riverhead Hardcover
Price: $24.95
Customer Review:
After reading "A Million Little Pieces," I immediately bought "My Friend Leonard." Whether or not these stories are literally true in every aspect, there is no question that they are largely autobiographical and completely fascinating. James Frey may not be writing great literature, but he sure... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 10. |  | The Gulag Archipelago Volume 1: An Experiment in Literary Investigation (P.S.)
from Harper Perennial Modern Classics
Price: $16.03
Customer Review:
Gulag I is okay, but Gulag II seems much better. I had a hard time believing this as a historical work, but (I guess) much of it is supposed to be true. The book is not for the weak of heart, and should be read by fans of the Russian Greats - Gogol, Dostoevsky, Chekov, etc. The book would be good... more info | 5.0 / 5.0
