The Kitchen Boy

This book tells the story of the last days of the Romanovs from the perspective of the kitchen boy who worked in their house. It's an interesting book and shows the personalities of the various family members. And there's a fascinating, if improbable, twist at the end. But the narrator continually reminds the reader of the bloody end to come, which may have been useful once or twice but seemed unnecessary numerous times. He also interjects information that is trying to give some historical context or background on members of the family, but it doesn't seem to flow in with the narrative. So overall, an interesting story with some jarring flaws.
