A review by scarletohhara
The Invisible Life of Ivan Isaenko by Scott Stambach

4.0

Am done reading about dying kids with cancer. Am done reading about the Soviet era and the various bad things that happened in that timeframe. I think am also done reading love stories with a sad ending.

Stamback gives Ivan Isaenko a strong character drawn from various sources - post-Chernobyl world, acclaimed Russian authors and an interesting perspective to life.
There are many things that hurt my stomach but none as much as the usage of the word 'mutant' for the kids in the book.
