Why read it?
1 author picked Whiskey Priest as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I enjoyed this book because it presents escapism, pure and simple. The story is much like the James Bond books and movies. Lots of violence and sex. Maybe it will someday be made into a movie.
I liked that the protagonist is a Ukrainian American woman. The author makes her very resourceful but somewhat jaded and sarcastic about everything. I found this to be a short, fun read.
From Andrei's list on Ukrainian Russian relationship.
