Review: Gorky Park

Gorky Park Gorky Park by Martin Cruz Smith
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Far too long--repetitive and filled with too much insider sarcasm about Soviet politics. The first 200 pages were like molasses to wade through. Not until Renko meets the NYPD detective does it become slightly more interesting. The last segments were confusing--thought the book was over, but no, just two more, thankfully shorter, sections added to show Renko's relocations before ending up back in Mother Russia. Do not think I can go on with this series.
