Peak of the Metro series.

Great beginning, good ending, fascinating world. Only major problem is there's about 200 pages in the middle where just nothing of interest happens. Could have done with some major editing down.

Love the story! Sometimes it was difficult to keep track of all the different characters, but I long to read the next books in the series!

This was a supremely Russian novel. The multitude of philosophical interludes, grim sharpness to reality, and utter lack of women doing anything other than cleaning all create a pretty striking world. Completely unsurprised they made a video game out of it, the world is quite apt for it. I appreciated the way it doesn't tie up nicely, you certainly leave with more curiosity then you enter with. I give it 3.5 stars, rounded up to 4 for the intrigue it's left me with.
