It is full of interesting history and very readable but the fascinatingly evil character of Josyp Stalin holds your attention until his face turns black while dying on the sofa of his villa outside Moscow before he could bring to fruition his murdering of countless more innocent people in his self-created "Doctor's Plot." In the end, Stalin fell into his own trap, and helplessly died like all his innocent victims in the tens of millions.
This book reveals the personal Stalin - his private life, family life, likes and dislikes, paranoia, psychoticism, rage, and guilt - his private dinners while on vacation in the Crimea and Georgia his conversations with the Politburo members who lived in fear of their lives from Stalin and totally bowed down before him, like Hitler's inner circle, and were constantly being murdered by Stalin and replaced with more sycophants. His evil is unwavering from the early 1920's until his death in 1953 Stalin plots, deceives, fools, liquidates, anyone he feels threatened by, or annoyed with whether one person or millions of persons. Because the main character - Josyp Stalin - fascinated like a snake.

The fascination with evil that is how I describe reading this book.
