I was told that Metro 2033 is a good book. But then I was able to find out this review:
To sum up some intermediate result to the whole book, you will have to admit: the book in general and as a whole is empty. It's not saved by philosophical platitudes about the watches being necessary or unnecessary below the Earth (it is clear that all units are conventions accepted for convenience), nor the reasoning about the destiny and destiny of man.
The final conclusion about the novel is: it is neither very good in itself, nor frankly bad. The author created it, or precisely figured out the target audience - for lovers of computer games in the genre of "shooter" and "quest" of the age from 12 to 25 years - whether it fell into it by accident, creating the text "for himself." This is not a reproach to the author - but a statement of fact. Like in computer games, the characters do not tend to ask questions like "why?", "wherefore?" or "what for?". Is only given in the introductory: the task is set, just go and execute mindlessly!
After reading this review I came to a conclusion that it's just a dull book for teens. Am I right?
