Read it while playing the game!

I started playing the game before reading this book, and finished them both together, there are almost no spoilers shared between the video game and the book, on the contrary, they compliment each other better than any other book+movie or book+video-game I have seen so far.

I recommend you do them both together, don't start one after you finish the other, trust me it will make the experiences on both mediums much more amazing than any one would have been on its own..

I myself play a lot of games but if you don't, I think you might even enjoy it more, you can find the game cheap on online digital stores.

A soulsearching adventure with horror

If you could sum up Metro 2033 in three words, what would they be?

Psychological horror adventure

Who was your favorite character and why?

The main character development during the story makes him very interresting. It also makes you question yourself during the story if you would share his views or not as the story progresses.

Which scene was your favorite?

When the main character is returing to his home station and he start asking himself about everything that has happen to him and he survived and others did not.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

A story that will make you question your own place in the world and what is truly valuable and what is not.

Any additional comments?

The book itself is a bit hard to read on its own. Mainly because it was translated in a very google-like way. With the audiobook, however, it becomes much easier to follow the story all the way to the end. I recommend when you buy the book to buy this audiobook as well. I will guarantee that you will not be dissapointed when you do that.

Excellent in every aspect!

Where does Metro 2033 rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Probably THE best audiobook i have heard and my guess is it will stay the best for a long time.

Have you listened to any of Rupert Degas’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Rupert Degas is an excellent narrator but this is one of his best performances.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The book gave me chills several times over and the ending forced a few tears to my eye.

Men with Guns

I got through about a third of this audio book before I got terminally bored. The book has a very interesting premise but it is not well realised, and for my part I absolutely refuse to listen to a book that appears not to have a single female presence. I've enjoyed plenty of books with male protagonists where women don't play major roles, but Metro 2033 is ridiculous. Artyom is male, his friends are male, he travels through the Metro and meets more males. Maybe women feature later in the book, but I had already waded through hours with barely a mention and I lost faith that the author had ever actually met any. The only mention I can recall at this point was a dismissive comment between two males. Maybe some future reviewers who get through the whole book will correct my rather negative impression.

On the plus side, the book is beautifully narrated. Rupert Degas is one of the best narrators around and I almost kept listening to the book just to hear his voice/s.

Loved the book, Leary of the series.

If you could sum up Metro 2033 in three words, what would they be?

Ethics, pathos, plot.
It is a great character-based first person book.
It really drags you into the dystopian future of the main character.
This book left me wanting more. It was a "page turner" that I listened to as much as possible. The end was ... well, both a surprise and a plot twist, and in that sense, very satisfying.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Metro 2033?

The end. It is just awesome.

Have you listened to any of Rupert Degas’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes.

Any additional comments?

I won't likely listen to the rest of the series, I've heard negative things, and apparently, its not the same main character. Which I understand, but still, I don't know that the universe would hold up for me without the main character. It is really a character study more than anything else.

good book, not amazing but good

The story's end is predictable. Since the start what was going to happen. however, a book is a journey to appreciate. I think that the story was good and well written. I might be biased as I haven't read many storybooks in English. I mostly read technical books. So, take my review with a pinch of salt. overall, it was a good experience that I want to continue. I will start reading the other books too.

great book, great narrator, meh music

it was excellent, though the music that plays between chapters I could do without, it's a little jarring.

Simply incredible.

The game doesn't even hold a candle to the book. I loved every second and the performance was also wonderful. Rupert Degas was a joy to listen to.
