this book was very difficult to put down. I haven't been able to do a lot of reading recently, due to back-breaking amounts of homework. I'd forgotten how tiring it was to read, but at the same time how enjoyable it was. 'Eye of the Red Tsar' was one of very few suspense type books I've read, but in my opinion, it was quite excellent. I couldn't have guessed the ending and the protagonist was very likable. Probably should have been doing homework.
