A true political thriller. What a ride. (I hope to see this book made into a movie with Tom Hanks as Bill Browder)?

Incredible story about modern day Russia and the murderers and thieves who run the country.

I binged on this book the way people do on a Netflix series: read it until I fell asleep on the couch, when I was waiting for my kids, while dinner was cooking...I did not want to put it down. Exciting, eye-opening, heart breaking.

I took this as an audiobook, very well read. I recently heard him in an interview of his latest book & found him extremely knowledgeable, interesting and wanted to more. The man goes into minute detail, is very verbose, giving one so…

A true hero in every sense of the word. Riveting (and horrifying) story. A disturbing introduction to Putin's agenda.

I find it absolutely amazing how many people still voted for Trump! That the way it is in the North America. It feels like like we are living on a different planet altogether.

I could not put this memoire down! I learned so much about Russian corruption, lawyers, finance, and the world beyond my sheltered Canadian boundaries. This man has fortitude!

Possibly my favorite book of the year. Bill Browder meticulously goes through his history as a growing hedge fund manager specializing in Russia. Then, he explains how his business, his life and the lives of his friends and employees…

A very well written book and incredibly revealing about the corruption in Russia. Unfortunately, it also parallels what is starting to happen in the United States in terms of lying and corruption.

Amazing true story. Hard to believe at times which makes it all the more engrossing. When you're done reading this, there is further information to be found on the internet about the ongoing story of Russia's attempts to vilify Sergei…

Red Notice is a fascinating and frightening story of the financial world, and its intersection with political corruption. The outrageous crimes carried out by Russian officials are truly horrible, and anyone who reads the book would agree…

There's a lot I didn't like about Red Notice to the point that I almost gave up halfway through. I'm so glad I didn't though because the second half completely changed my mind and made Browder's book one that won't ever leave my…

I read this book followed by Fear (Woodward) and while the two books are wildly different, Red Notice illuminates what Fear illustrates when it comes to Putin, Russia and how Trump and the White House became the subject of Mueller's…

This is a tremendously engaging story. I highly recommend it, but while reading it I kept wondering why a guy who seems to be as intelligent as Browder couldn't have figured out that there would be repercussions from publicly poking the…

Wow. An important and eye-opening read in the era of Trump's "Putin is a nice guy" rhetoric. The author recounts in compelling and readable terms investing in the Russian stock market, corruption of Russian officials and the oligarchs, …
