The writing isn't bad, but you absolutely cannot cram the enormous life of Peter into a book that has a little over 200 pages. It's incredibly hard to follow a narrative of his life that is jumping from subject to subject at warp speed.

17th book of 2010. After reading about Catherine the Great, I of course had to read about Peter the Great. To be cliche, a man larger than life in every single way. My main problem with this book was that it was too short and glossed over some areas. I definitely recommend it for anyone who is interested in Russian history and who doesn't know much about Peter.
