COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Brilliant! submitted by Sonnenblume on May 20, 2015, 9:15pm Masha Gessen is a superb journalist. Her book is an extremely well written and researched account of the lives of the Tsarnayev brothers and the events, or lack thereof, that led them to become the Boston Marathon bombers.
