Review:

Dark. Holy fuck.

And this was only Volume 1.

A chilling first-hand account of life in the soviet prison industry system.

Man’s inhumanity to man, repeated ad nauseum.

Like a very long version of the author’s own One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch.

A lucid reminder to keep people like Trump out of power and consigned to the end notes of our history.

5 stars. Dark stars. Very dark stars.

This book made me want to: walk in the sunshine
