Checkmate Run

I received this book from the author for the purpose of this review. All comments and opinions are entirely my own.

Fascinated with this author's life story, and taken by the beautiful cover, I decided to review this book when given the opportunity. Even though this is the story of the author's own life and his escape from Russia, it is written in first person just like you read a fictional story and is extremely engaging. I love the way the author writes, its so beautiful and allows you to visually see everything that happens throughout the book. However, there were a few things that I didn't care for concerning content; one being language. Just in chapter one there were probably about 5 cuss words, some fairly bad. Two was the sexuality that actually caused me to put the book down. It was just a little too detailed and crossed a few too many lines for my audience. So, although I was really interested in the author's story, I would have been more pleased had he left out the language and kept the sexuality at hints without the details.

So I am going to rate Checkmate Run 2 out of 5 stars and do not recommend it to any of my followers.

Thanks for stopping by!
