Welcome to Litsy!

Snowpiercer meets Roadside Picnic meets The Hike. Don‘t think I will continue the series, but this was delightfully tense and weird and claustrophobic.

I'm giving this So-So because I'm genuinely unsure how I feel about. Was it good or bad? Boring or intriguing? Hmm, I really don't know! It had its moments but was mainly left wondering what it had all been about. There's LOTS of Parisian street names that's for sure! I did enjoy the sections about the women during WW2 but I have a vague suspicion it might be really nicely written mumbo-jumbo! And the ending was pure cheese 🧀

Starting this one today. Not sure I'm in the right frame of mind for it really, was fancying something light and funny. But this is next on The List and The List MUST BE OBEYED!!!! 🤣🤣🤣😳

Soweit ein ganz gutes Buch. S.328 ( bis jetzt besser als Metro 2034)

This book is amazing but certainly a heavy read. Most books have one or two ideas/philosophies to it. This book, on the other hand, seems to discuss a different philosophy every chapter.
Poor Artyom suffers through so many intense things. I do recommend this book if youre looking for somerhing a bit more thought provoking but with an overall plot and amazing world .

Too much for right now, will return in the future.

Found this feature about the “Russian Soul“ (🇩🇪 https://bit.ly/2WaqO4z) shortly after I made my opinion about“Metro 2034”. The plot and especially Homer, the protagonist, felt so “Russian” in all his suffering – and that was why I did a quick research on that trait of suffering said to be typically Russian and found the feature behind the link … Just forgot to post it until today.

Wenn ich Metro 2033 bis 2035 besitze, lohnt es sich dann die Triologie zu kaufen?

@Jari-chan Do you have any helpful comment to set my impression straight❓So much looked forward to it – and it fell so short. For me, there‘s hardly anything left from the original atmosphere, the density, the threat, the creepiness. Homer is just your average Russian who deepens his capacity to suffer. All that weltschmerz and striving for legacy. Couldn‘t relate. Additionally, where‘s Glukhovsky‘s subtlety? Homer, Moby Dick. More allusions, pls.

😕 I couldn‘t relate to any of the 3 protagonists. Sascha is bristle but flat. Hunter is a shadow of his own but it‘s not explained why. Save Homer‘s philosophical waffling, replace it with dialogue and plot.

I was so annoyed by how blurry everything is because the background given does hardly make sense. Plus: The characters don‘t really _talk_. They all only serve private ends.

I more and more lost interest in their fates and their mission.
