Heather's books are sheer delight. My only regret she doesn't write more books. Her stories are magical.

The book is so bad I can't give it any stars. I couldn't read more than three pages. Had to stop and fight gag reflex. The writing is very primitive. Eew!

I think I'm too young for this book. I feel it tries to tell me something important but I can't grasp its point at all. So far I can't figure out why this book has been written and published because the story line is of no interest to anyone except, perhaps, the author himself.I think I'm too young for this book.

The sequel was a great disappointment for me. I absolutely adored the first book but the second one is just so blah and uninspiring. The premise is utterly dull and in certain parts, just totally ridiculous. I regret reading this book.

Frankly, this movie was an utter disappointment. I expected so much from the picture that won 9 Oscars but comparing to 'My Fair Lady' this movie is a bland and boring flop. The story raises your eyebrows and could be simply summarized as 'two old hags try to prostitute a teenage girl to a rich playboy'. The acting is wooden and theatrical, characters are unlikable, and music is uninspiring. Really, I'm shocked that anyone in their right mind could award anything to this mediocre product and choose it for the Best Picture over the brilliant 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof'!Frankly, this movie was an utter disappointment.

Comment:
The subject of the book is fascinating. One can see how deeply interested the author was in his subject and he describes in a beautiful and poetic way all the details about a theremin. However, everything else, including the life story of the Russian inventor is written quite poorly. The main character was depicted as a week and torn in his loyalties nerd, a victim of the Soviet regime, an apolitical scientist with no mind of his own. The fact that the main character frequently uses an expression "Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, may his memory be illuminated" sounds terribly false and wrong. It was never used in Soviet Russia, not in writing, not verbally. I'm afraid Sean Michaels will never be on the same level with the best Canadian writers if he continues writing nonsense about the cultures he knows only from his high-school textbooks.The subject of the book is fascinating.

I'm not sure what happened with the writer Dontsova but her writing has become extremely boring and uninspiring. It's like someone else writes her books for her because the story line hardly makes any sense and the style of writing is primitive.

Although it does contain some interesting photographs, the style of the writing is so dry and unemotional that it's hard to read.

Quite boring and poorly translated into Russian. I can only hope that French version of this book is more enjoyable but I doubt that very much.
