Book by Dmitry Glukhovsky

My Review

You all know I loved Metro 2033 what a great and sad adventure. I couldn’t wait to get Metro 2034. This book is the adventure of Hunter, Homer and Sasha.

First of all though I couldn’t get this book in the US. I couldn’t get it for my Kindle off of Amazon. I even went to some bookstores and they didn’t have it. Yes I went to bookstores haven’t been in them in a very long time but I really wanted to read this book. Found it on EBay and got the book from London. Had to wait a little over two weeks for it. Not too bad I thought coming from Europe.

I was disappointed I know this book is not about Artyom but the way he was inserted in the story I didn’t like it. Made him seem less human unlike his adventure in Metro 2033. I didn’t like how the two stories where broken up as well. First we start with Hunter and Homer. Then it would switch to Sasha. I am not a fan of that.

Finally when they all get together it felt like too much attention was on Homer and Sasha. Not enough attention on Hunter. This is supposed to be really about him like it says on the back of the book These are the voyages of Hunter. What it really should say is: These are the voyages of minor characters that interact with Hunter.

However I did like Homer’s story. I think that Mr. Glukhovsky should make adventures of him. He seems like he would have a lot of great adventures in his youthful years. He was the only character that I really liked. I also like the story within a story. I always think that is neat.

I didn’t find out anything I didn’t know about Hunter already in this story. I knew he had to be a damaged person. I already got that from reading Metro 2033 and playing Metro Last Light. That is obvious.

I am so hoping when Metro 2035 comes to America its better than this story. I hope he goes back to Artyom I want to read more of his adventures.
