malinowy 's review for:
Metro 2035
by Dmitry Glukhovsky
Well, this took a forever to read. I remember liking the first book in this trilogy when I read it 5 years ago, and had quite high hopes that this would live up to it. It didn't. The basic idea of there being life outside the Moscow metro was great, and the quest to find it could have been good. But it just dragged on and on with episodes that did not bring any depth to any character and seemed to be written in just so that the author could present different ways to display atrocities. And those weren't necessarily the worst parts, because they at least told something about the society and hierarchy of the metro. Had they been a separate story without the annoying main character, I might have liked this novel more. Now it just fell flat with way too many characters and insignificant events. As a bonus annoyance the Finnish publisher had decided not to print the metro map on the inside cover, so keeping track of where the people were was impossible.
