Wow, that was a thrilling and creepy journey through the post-apocalypse tunnels of Moscows subway! I never imagined Metro 2033 to be so creepy in the first place. You can actually feel the tension when the Protagonist Artjom passes through dark tunnels with his flashlight as the only lightsource, n...
I was amazed at how this novel drew me in. Almost all of it takes place in the Moscow subway system. It is a post-apocalyptic world and the various metro stations are controlled by different factions of the surviving humans. The pace is excellent and the atmosphere downright creepy.
So let me start by saying that I love the idea. A post nuclear Moscow, in which the last remnants of human civilization live in the black, creepy tunnel systems of the underground metro. Couple this with that fact that its set in Russia, a country whose culture I have always been fascinated by and I...
Three major points of criticism: 1. Bechdel Test Fail Up to about two-thirds, there weren't ANY women in this book.

Of the ones I've read (which admittedly aren't that many), there isn't a single book by a Russian author that isn't packed chock-full of descriptions, long confusing names and equally confusing locations (this has more to do with me being unused to their naming fashion than anything else, though). M...
A long trek through a subway, with lots of mayhem and death, and ultimately we're back to where we started, and just a little closer to total annihilation.
When the game Metro 2033 came out a few years back, I played it for like an hour. I wasn't really good at it, and it had too much horror elements for my taste. Despite those reasons, I really liked the setting of the game. That post-acolyptic undergroundish envirnoment had something... intriguing. S...
Imaginative fiction tends to run in currents, with different fashions rising and falling all the time. Post-apocalyptic fantasy has been one of the more tenacious variants, often spicing up the blasted landscape with some zombies and/or mutants to pester the few humans the remain alive.
