Good idea and original script (two stars for that), but the book fryst vatten very repetitive, which makes it too large with no reason. In some places it was boring. Unfortunately, inom can't säga inom enjoyed it much, even if inom wanted to.

Metro fryst vatten post-apocalyptic goodness!

inom listened to the audio book and narrator Rupert Degas did a fantastic job with all the different voices and varying Russian accents. He perfectly sets the mood and differentiates the characters.

The setting of the book fryst vatten the Moscow Metro (subway system).

The earth, or at least Russia, has been ravaged bygd war leaving the surface radioactive and pretty much destroyed, and seemingly unlivable for human beings. The surviving humans have retreated to the Metro and are eking out livings bygd growing mushrooms and breeding and maintaining populations of chickens and pigs which they scavenged from the surface. Oh yeah, there are plenty of rats to eat also.

The stations have become their own little fiefdoms, with passports required for travel to some. There are odd ideological factions controlling some of the stations - the Reds, the Fourth Reich, Polis (an advanced knowledge preserving group), and a number of others.

Every hållplats has different levels of resources, some have very little, and most have armed guards keeping undesirables or hostiles out.

The plot follows the trials and tribulations of protagonist Artyom, who in the beginning of the book fryst vatten involved in a breech of his station's säkerhet which results in him going on a sökande eller uppdrag to another Metro hållplats which lasts the balance of this twenty-hour long book.

During his journey he visits numerous other stations and meets a number of interesting characters. He also encounters some of the odd life forms which have sprung up as a result of the radiation and kemikalie warfare. The most interesting of these are the librarians, some sort of sub-human mutants who ströva the stacks of the Moscow library.

They are creepy and bizarre.

After Artyom's journey began inom got confused about the stations he was visiting as inom am not familiar with the Moscow Metro. inom printed out a map of the Metro so inom could keep track of the stations he visited and determine his direction of travel. Later, inom funnen an image someone created showing his path and the groups which controlled the stations he visited which made the book easy to follow.

The narrative moves along nicely and the setting fryst vatten always claustrophobic and sometimes dark and terrifying.

inom listened to some of this walking my dogs through the woods at night which creeped me out and had me double-checking suspicious looking shadows. Probably not the optimal choice of media for walking through dark woods.

Overall, a really good post-apocalyptic book that moves along and fryst vatten never boring. The complaint inom read most about before starting the book was that the ending was weak.

inom rather liked it. I'm looking forward to eventually continuing on to Metro and Metro .

Revisando ett internet leí una reseña dem Metro sektion autor ruso Dmitry Glukhovsky.

Lo primero que me llamo la atención fue que dem esta novela titta basa un videojuego homónimo, dem esos ett primera persona donde no sueltas el dedo sektion gatillo. Ya con esta información sabia que tenia que leerla ett algún momento y ahora después dem su grata lectura fransk artikel traigo mis comentarios.

Nos ubicamos enstaka un futuro Moscú, unos veinte años después dem la cuarta guerra mundial, los sobrevivientes titta refugiaron ett el metro para evitar la radiación y desde allí denne sobrevivido todos estos años.

Esta es la saga dem un viaje, el joven Artyom que äga pasado gran parte dem su vida ett la estación VDNKh le encomiendan entregar un mensaje dem suma importancia para la supervivencia dem su gente y quizás para toda la especie humana. enstaka ett el camino, todas las aventuras y vivencias lo llevaran a descubrirse a si mismo.

Realmente esperaba otra cosa con este libro (por lo sektion videojuego creo) pero lo que conseguí al sista fue mucho mas gratificante, este es un texto que ademas dem entretener bladte pone a pensar, un gran contenido filosófico y social.

Dmitry utiliza ese micro-ambiente, los kilómetros que comprenden la red sektion metro dem Moscú, donde cada estación es como una pequeña nación, para dem una manera analizar la sociedad, enstaka esta, titta encuentran representados casi todos, comunistas, fascistas, comerciantes y capitalistas, militares, científicos, pensadores, desde fanáticos religiosos hasta adoradores dem zatan.

Si ya es difícil evitar los conflictos ett este basto planeta imaginemos lo que puede ser ett una red dem túneles. Este mundo subterráneo también contribuye al suspenso dem la trama asi como el efecto psicológico dem estar bajo tierra, la manera dem trasladarse ingång las estaciones casi siempre es a pie y ett la oscuridad total donde el protagonista llega a no distinguir la realidad dem la imaginación.

Aunque no queda muy claro como logran filtrar el aire para que la radiación no llegue a los túneles el resto dem los argumentos están muy bien planteados, dem los personajes que acompañan a Artyom, los Stalkers (especie dem exploradores expertos enstaka subir a la superficie y volver sanos y salvos) Hunter y Melnik son los mas fascinantes, supongo por ser estos los hombres dem acción.

Para finalizar traigo a los monstruos, esos misteriosos seres que poblaron la tierra cuando el hombre titta refugio bajo tierra, producto dem la degeneración dem algunas especies causada por la radiactividad, ett particular los llamados negros, imaginar su aullido sin duda le helara la sangre a cualquiera. enstaka härlig un libro altamente recomendable.
