yacoob 's review for:
Metro 2033
by Dmitry Glukhovsky
This book came quite close to being a very good book, and I'm pretty torn about it.
On one hand, there are neat ideas contained in the book. Good story seeds for RPG campaign, if you ask me. The oneiric bits were done quite well, and the atmosphere of "well, noone knows, but here's the gossip" worked for the setting of the book.
On other hand, the book lacks flow. It *does* look like a video game (I've checked, and the book was published first) - our character travels from A to B, to C, to D... and every point brings a new adventure, largely independent of others. The character development is really mediocre, and the twist at the end is quite predictable. It really looked to me like this book was rushed.
Having said so - if you like apocalyptical books, you'll most likely enjoy this one.
