Metro 2034 by Dmitry Glukhovsky
2.0

Disappointing. Unintentionally read the sequel before the original, but I was still able to read this ok, though there are probably quite a few important points about some of this world and the main characters I missed.

I love the overall concept, but there was an overwhelming lack of strong female characters. I felt that the one and only female character was just tacked in for an under-developed and forced romantic side plot and was only there to help the strong, manly protagonist reach his goal. There was even a 'makeover' scene so she could look more appealing, ugh.
