Editorial Reviews

Review

"A startling new interpretation of the period ... a stunning book."―David Denby, New Yorker

"A superb and harrowing history."―
Financial Times

"Genuinely shattering.... I have never seen a book like it."―
Istvan Deak, New Republic

"A brave and original history of mass killing in the twentieth century."―
Anne Applebaum, New York Review of Books

"A magisterial work.... Snyder's account in engaging, encyclopedic."―
Foreign Affairs

"Gripping and comprehensive.... Mr. Snyder's book is revisionist history of the best kind: in spare, closely argued prose, with meticulous use of statistics, he makes the reader rethink some of the best-known episodes in Europe's modern history."―
Economist

"Snyder...compels us to look squarely at the full range of destruction committed first by Stalin's regime and then by Hitler's Reich.... A comprehensive and eloquent account."―
New York Times Book Revew

"A superb work of scholarship, full of revealing detail, cleverly compiled...and in places beautifully written.... Snyder does justice to the horror of his subject through the power of storytelling."―
The Sunday Times (London)

“A gigantic achievement in modern history.”―
Rachel Maddow, The Rachel Maddow Show

Unreadable due to small print, even with reading glasses

Unreadable due to small print, even with reading glasses
This review is NOT a review of the book itself. My friends highly recommended it. I ordered it for my husband’s birthday. We both looked forward to reading it. Our eyes are not young eyes but even if they were, this would be a difficult read due to the very small size of the print. There is a large amount of wasted, empty, unfilled page surrounding a small block of print. Even with reading glasses, it was a struggle to read. And I don’t usually need reading glasses. I’ve attached photos. The first is a photo of a page from the book Bloodlands as sent by this seller. The second photo compares the book Bloodlands next to another book of the same size with normal size print. I’m thinking perhaps there was a mistake made in printing. If so, I’d be happy to take a replacement and adjust my review accordingly. I’ve returned the book. I hope the seller will contact me if there was an error in printing.
Thank you for your feedback
