THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

For all of the West's failings—terrible food, cold weather and questionable politicians with funny hair to name a few—it has its upsides. Konstantin would know. Growing up in the Soviet Union, he experienced first-hand the horrors of a socialist paradise gone wrong, having lived in extreme poverty with little access to even the most basic of necessities. It wasn't until he moved to the UK that Kisin found himself thriving in an open and tolerant society, receiving countless opportunities he would never have had otherwise.

Funny, provocative and unswervingly perceptive, An Immigrant's Love letter to the West interrogates the developing sense of self-loathing the Western sphere has adopted and offers an alternative perspective. Exploring race politics, free speech, immigration and more, Kisin argues that wrongdoing and guilt need not pervade how we feel about the West—and Britain—today, and that despite all its ups and downs, it remains one of the best places to live in the world.

After all, if an immigrant can't publicly profess their appreciation for this country, who can?

Awesome!

Perfect balance between intelligence, common sense and wit. Kisin’s delivery on the idiocracy that stable people now face is right in point.

5 stars

Great summary of the issues that threaten us today. Most are not newly invented problems but rather an example of history repeating itself.

Intriguing insight from immigrant who has actually experienced socialism

Unlike this country's uninformed social warriors screaming for socialism, Konstantin has experienced socialism first-hand and provides factual information in an informative and entertaining way. I highly recommend this read or listen.

Truth hurts

As immigrants, we see the evils and we recognize it. Great book. Great author. Keep up educating the West.

I'd say it needs to be required reading, but that's too authoritarian

This should be required reading in every American college, and maybe everywhere else. It terrifies me that younger generations do not remember the Soviet Union and have no frame of reference by which to realize just how lucky they are to live in Western society. The book is well-written, approachable, intelligent, and funny. Konstantin Kisin seems like such a genuinely nice guy that I think the lefty hate mob will have a hard time convincing people he's really a Hitlery monster. I hope so anyway. We need to listen to him!

Brilliant. Like a breath of fresh air!

In a balanced and well formulated way Kisin dives into the complex subjects of politics, ideology, polarisation, racism, propaganda and the potential longterm effects of conformism and herd thinking.
A book I would consider as a "must read' for anyone claiming - or even entertaining - the idea of being sovereign, free-thinking or defending the freedom of speech and the right to express opinions. The book opens up for wider discussions, deeper thoughts and self reflections I find encouraging and inspiring in many levels
I really enjoyed it and looking forward to re-read the Swedish translation when being released.

Great Read

I really enjoyed this book and the perspective it gave. It was an intelligent discussion written in a very easy to read/listen format. I particularly enjoyed that Konstantin did the reading and getting to hear his inflection in the book. I will be buying copies to send to some family and friends. I am also going to have my teenage sons listen or read it.

A balanced and nuanced view

A very compelling argument in favor of the western experiment. Thought provoking commentary and vast amounts of supporting data.
