Really great stories.

The second of this trilogy wasn't that great, but the third was well worth it. I got into these books after playing the video games and the books are even better than the game was..

I was so excited, I pre-ordered the book... oops..

Is there anything you would change about this book?

This book was unlike the rest of the books in his story... You can always tell when a writer is out of material because they fill space with cursing and sex. The "f-bombs" were over the top and at one point as a character drops the skirt of a woman to finger her in front of her husband, I just had enough. In one chapter the author drops the dialogue tags (ie "said Sally" "responded Joe") The narrator tried to change voices as best he could, but it was terrible. If that was what the first 2 books had been like, that would be expected, but this was so unlike the author that it was sad.

Has Metro 2035 turned you off from other books in this genre?

No, I liked the first two books.

Which character – as performed by Rupert Degas – was your favorite?

Even though the story line is pitiful, Rupert Degas does a great job in the performance

Nothing will be as good as 2033

Metro 2035 goes back to follow Artyom's adventures in the metro from Metro 2033. I'll review this book by comparing it to Metro 2033. I gave Metro 2033 five-stars because of its amazing and riveting story, interesting and distinguishable characters, horror and creepiness of the metro, and ultimately a problem-solution story.

Unfortunately, Metro 2035 has none of that except just a okay story (the story wasnt nearly as good as Metro 2033). Most of Metro 2035 is bland dialogue and chapters that have no meaning or impact. The interesting parts flash by quickly while the boring unimportant scenes are drawn out, outstaying their welcome.

The characters (including Artyom) weren't loveable or even distinguishable from other characters. The only description youre given to separate characters are their names.

If you loved the horror and monsters of metro 2033, I am sorry to say there isn't a single irradiated monster or unexplained phenomenon in Metro 2035.

Finally, like Metro 2034, Metro 2035 has no real problem and solution. It's just a ADHD plotline that runs in different directions, none of which having much real importance.

After being such a huge fan of Metro 2033, I'm very disappointed in 2034 and 2035. While the books have gotten worse and worse, at least the video games have gotten better and better- no wonder why the game developers decided to branch off and make their own story-line.

swapped horror for conspiracies

supernatural theme vanished, replaced by abusive sexual tones. bad exchange, even with great narrator. disappointed.

A deparure from the original

New directions are fun. And sometimes necessary. There will be some that would argue that this change was a necessary change. But i would argue that this book was not.

Glukhovsky has evolved with his trilogy.

As the second feels different from the first, the third is different from the previous two. Glukhovsky evolved his style with his trilogy, and here, in the final installment, that style matches the story, becuase Artyom has aged with his experiences. Most of the main cast, those surviving at least, from the previous books stop by to say "farewell". At times I did wonder if this story had all been intended from the initial book, or if it was a case of the author changing his intent to continue the plot. Either way, the story fits. A reader, having to rely soley of the knowledge a character can give him, feels the discoveries of Artyom in the very heart of oneself. It is a lovely, dark and fantastic tale.

Worst conclusion to a story I ever heard

I will be blunt the ending of this three part book series was just plain bad. I cannot say more and will not as I don't want to spoil it what little there is....

Not worth the credit

the first two books in the series we're great but this one has a completely different tone, and reads a lot like some sort of sick erotic novel.

What... happened?!

What disappointed you about Metro 2035?

I finished reading 2034 thinking that it was one of the most beautiful and well written stories ever. The ending was brilliant, everything about it was poetry in narrative. I get to this and I am reminded why I hate it when games are pushed to come out with movies, or books for games and movies, etc. When language and sexual dialogue are used this much and this graphically, it tells me that there is not enough meaningful things to be said. The story goes nowhere, literally. This book was horrible. What happened?

What was most disappointing about Dmitry Glukhovsky’s story?

The only meaningful thing that I can glean from this story is the utter depravity and evil of all men. If that is what he is trying to express than he succeeded. Otherwise, why would someone who has proven that he is a literary master, stoop to writing such awful trash?

What character would you cut from Metro 2035?

75% of the book. All the F bombs and graphic scenes.

I just I just wanted it to end

the narrator does a fantastic job but the story appears to drag on and on and on and eventually you just want it to end.
