I Named My Dog Pushkin

Disclaimer: I heard this audiobook as Net Galley ARC.

So, that was a really fun book to listen to.

I struggle a little bit with audiobooks, if the narrator isn't right, if the writing isn't fluid (too poetic, I mean), I lose my focus quite easily and then have to skip back. But this one was just right on point: the narrator has a voice that does not get tiring, she narrates the book at a great pace, great pronunciation (at least for the english, I know nothing about the russian parts), the tone was just right.

The writing, from what I heard (ha!) is quite simple, but pretty nevertheless. It's fun, it's cozy, it's a book I could listen while working, taking a walk or just laying in my bed with my eyes closed. Took me a couple weeks to listen to it all, but it was always really easy to pick up from where I had left it.

The story itself is very inspiring too. I was expecting something more dramatic (tragic, even), but it's just a fun book. And there's nothing wrong with a fun memoir. We actually need more of these. It was also very interesting to leart more about a jewish ex-ussr person.

Highly recommend, liked it a lot, wish the best for this book. Thank you, Net Galley and the editor.
