Review

"Boris Akunin gets better, and better. Sister Pelagia and the White Bulldog is immensely compelling, rich, and amusing -- more than a little seductive, slightly mad, and wildly entertaining." (Alan Furst )

5.0 out of 5 stars Stick with this series, 26 Feb 2007
By SM (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pelagia and the White Bulldog: The First Sister Pelagia Mystery (Hardcover)
The Sister Pelagia mystery series may not be as effortless a read to take in as Erast Fandorin, but it's well worth the effort. While the White Bulldog may be have a plot that is slightly less dynamic than the one Fandorin fans are used to, it is a refreshing change of pace. The language is beautiful, the characters are engaging and the sleuth and her posse (bishop Mitrofani and Berdichervsky) are at least as charismatic as Fandorin and Masa.
The series (there are only three novels in it) picks up the pace in The Black Monk and positively goes berserk in the Red Rooster, but the provincial charm of the White Bulldog is very enjoyable too.
Most Russian fans of Akunin consider the Pelagia trilogy to be a more workmanlike and even series than Fandorin, which has its peaks and valleys.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderfully entertaining and informative, 20 Nov 2006
By Ekaterina Smoldyreva (Dubai, UAE) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Pelagia and the White Bulldog: The First Sister Pelagia Mystery (Hardcover)
I love sister Pelagia mysteries as much as I love Fandorin's though it is impossible to compare them, the two being so different. If Fandorin's series focus on Moscow and its inhabitants, international crimes and politics, Pelagia takes us to small provincial towns and villages where she conquers our hearts with her native wit, intelligence and charm. The Pelagia books are beautifully written, the style bears resemblance to works of Turgenev and Chekhov. It is not only entertaining but also very informative reading and I would certainly recommend the books to anyone.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not for a Fandorin Fan, 4 Jul 2006
By Miran Ali "I don't like anonymous reviewers" (Dhaka, Bangladesh) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Pelagia and the White Bulldog: The First Sister Pelagia Mystery (Hardcover)
I love the Fanbdorin series and I was very excited about a new one from Akunin. But I just want to say that if you're a Fandorin fan then maybe this won't be your cup of tea. The style seemed to me similar to Gogol's in the Inspector General. Unfortunately I found it boring and long winded.

For those who enjoy detective and courtroom fiction, this novel is an unusual take on a familiar genre. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Give me Erast Petrovich any day!
Reading this was a real disappointment after reading all of the Fandorin novels. I only stuck with it because it was bought for me as a Christmas present. Read more
