What readers think of The Senility of Vladimir P., plus links to write your own review.

Very few book make my favorites list, but The Senility of Vladimir P. offered up everything I look for in a novel. This satire is intelligent, dark and angry. The novel sheds light on the enigma of Vladimir Putin's Russia by looking back from the future and examining the ramifications of his leadership. The last 100 years of Russian history have been dramatic, from the Russian revolution to the dissolution of the USSR, but what is happening today under Putin's leadership is hard to fathom from a western viewpoint. This story offers an interesting perspective that left me feeling both enlightened and uncomfortable that it reflects far more than a kernel of truth.
