there are no likeable characters in this story

Narrator: "LTD" in a companies name is pronounced as "limited", not spelled out. I'm sorry this just bothered me to death. otherwise I enjoyed the narration! The story, however, is pretentious and nauseatingly overwritten. I made it five chapters before I quit. The fact that every single character is repulsive didn't help much. the story also tries to perpetuate the myth of the "secret beauty of the Russian soul". The secret is that Russians have no souls. I'd rather read about feral pigs.
