I binged on this book the way people do on a Netflix series: read it until I fell asleep on the couch, when I was waiting for my kids, while dinner was cooking...I did not want to put it down. Exciting, eye-opening, heart breaking.

I took this as an audiobook, very well read. I recently heard him in an interview of his latest book & found him extremely knowledgeable, interesting and wanted to more. The man goes into minute detail, is very verbose, giving one so…

I find it absolutely amazing how many people still voted for Trump! That the way it is in the North America. It feels like like we are living on a different planet altogether.

A very well written book and incredibly revealing about the corruption in Russia. Unfortunately, it also parallels what is starting to happen in the United States in terms of lying and corruption.

Amazing true story. Hard to believe at times which makes it all the more engrossing. When you're done reading this, there is further information to be found on the internet about the ongoing story of Russia's attempts to vilify Sergei…

This true life thriller hit number one on the New York Times best seller list. It provides a well-written narrative of the story of how the author, Bill Browder, made millions investing in Russian stocks under the Yeltsin regime and when…

There's a lot I didn't like about Red Notice to the point that I almost gave up halfway through. I'm so glad I didn't though because the second half completely changed my mind and made Browder's book one that won't ever leave my…

I read this book followed by Fear (Woodward) and while the two books are wildly different, Red Notice illuminates what Fear illustrates when it comes to Putin, Russia and how Trump and the White House became the subject of Mueller's…

This is a tremendously engaging story. I highly recommend it, but while reading it I kept wondering why a guy who seems to be as intelligent as Browder couldn't have figured out that there would be repercussions from publicly poking the…
