L’anno è il 2033. Il mondo è ridotto ad un cumulo di macerie. L’umanità è vicina all’estinzione. Le città mezze distrutte sono diventate inagibili a causa delle radiazioni. Al di fuori dei loro confini, si dice, solo deserti e foreste bruciate. I sopravvissuti ancora narrano la passata grandezza dell’umanità. Ma gli ultimi barlumi della civiltà fanno già parte di una memoria lontana, a cavallo tra realtà e mito. Più di vent’anni sono passati dall’ultimo decollo di un aeroplano. I binari ferroviari, abbandonati, portano verso il nulla. L’etere è spento e laddove prima suonavano le frequenze delle maggiori radio mondiali, da Tokyo a New York fino a Buenos Aires, ora regna solo il silenzio.L’uomo è stato sostituito da altre forme di vita, mutate dalle radiazioni e più idonee a vivere nella nuova arida terra.

Interesting World without a fitting story

3 stars

I decided to read this as I was interested in the dark atmosphere and intriging world. And in that aspect the book definitely delivered.

However there were moments which stayed in my head and I really appreciated. And towards the end the book feels a bit like …

Review of 'Metro 2033' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

Do you like internal indecisive monologues, philosophical ramblings, and info-dumps? Well this is the novel for you! Let’s get this across: I enjoyed the concept of the world this novel presents, but I detested everything about the execution. The world-building is explained by “author fiat” at best, and the author’s writing skill is terrible. As such, despite finishing this novel, I hated the entire experience.

Why finish something you dislike? Well - there are flashes of greatness here and there. But if this review will convince even one person to give up, then it has been worth my time to write. If you think the novel will get better, don’t. It is terrible from start to finish.

This was supposed to inspire a video game, right? Well it feels like the opposite. The main character travels from one location to the next, narrating his internal thoughts and describing the dark …

що сказати... «такоє». особливо дивне відчуття... дискомфорту викликає останній розділ: літературно найсильніший, можливо, але водночас найпафосніший і наче «пришитий» до зовсім іншого твору; як сідло на корові. гра за мотивами — краща за сам твір, нмсд.
