An entertaining read providing a glimpse into a world within a world, street life in Moscow's Three Stations. One does get the feel also from the main character of a difference, subtle, but it's there in mindset due to environment. The results of a different culture, and resulting different psychology. Not just in the MC, but the other characters as well. It's refreshing to connect to Russian characters. The story is entertaining across the full range of spectra from the street to an oligarch.
A decent read, but it doesn't deal with the abusive violence of the sex industry as well as [b:Box 21 1437993 Box 21 Anders Roslund http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1194215026s/1437993.jpg 1428570], nor does it capture the pointless and ineffective police bureaucracy as well as [b:Child 44 2161733 Child 44 Tom Rob Smith http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255690645s/2161733.jpg 2167258].
