Red Plenty by Francis Spufford

2.0

Realized I can’t get into novels. I was pretty disappointed in this book. I was interested in the idea of what if the USSR achieved its goals and ideal society but honestly I don’t think the book ever even got to that part. It was mostly small stories over different time periods and different people that I never got into. Also they just quote all the western propaganda about the evils of the soviets and never even acknowledges WW2 even happened or it’s effects on their society. I guess I give it a couple stars because what the book claims to be was a good idea
