3.0 out of 5 stars A Pleasant Little Book, February 11, 2004

By	"wahkahchim" (Salinas, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This small paperback is not very detailed or specific, and it is clumsily written. However, it also contains some valuable information. Once you get through the "Ah-shucks" tone and digest the author's apparent reluctance to learn Russian, there's a lot of information, certainly enough to justify the low price. But "war and Peace" it is not. Also the gritty details are often absent. It feels like this book is what you would read if you went out to dinner with the author and his wife. Interesting, but not enough....

3.0 out of 5 stars How to survive marriage to a Russian woman, January 14, 2005

By	OLGA - See all my reviews

The books is too small. Author wrote about two yeas of his marriage. Two years is not enough to write a book. Frank Coleman in his TO RUSSIA FOR LOVE book provided more dating sites. Bill writes that his wife might write a book about her experiences with an American man. Loo late. Oksana Leslie already wrote her book HOW TO SURVIVE IN INTERNATIONAL MARRIAGE about her adjustment in USA during 6 years.

2.0 out of 5 stars It's all right, September 2, 2005

By	Night Owl - See all my reviews

Well, it's a true story of one particular international relationship/marriage, and those are always helpful if you want to get a picture of what it's like. However, the book is not very detailed and poorly written. It will help in the process of educating oneself on the subject, but you will definitely need to read other books.
