Metro 2033 by Dmitry Glukhovsky

I bought this a few years ago and finally got around to reading it. 

"Metro 2033" by Dmitry Glukhovsky is not your typical easy-breezy read. This book's like a dense subway you gotta navigate through. The story's thick with details and can be a bit of a slog. But hey, stick with it, and you're in for a ride.

Alright, so picture this: it's set in post-apocalyptic Moscow, where survivors are holed up in the metro tunnels to escape the nuclear fallout. Our MC, Artyom, he's on a mission to save his station from some  creatures lurking in the dark.

Now, I won't lie, the pacing can be a bit slow at times, and you might find yourself scratching your head trying to keep up with all the names and places. But here's the thing: once you get into the groove, it's hard to put down. Glukhovsky's world-building is top-notch, painting a gritty, immersive picture of life underground.

And the best part? Despite the challenges, "Metro 2033" is a satisfying read. It's got that raw, gritty vibe that keeps you hooked till the end. So if you like dystopian tales with a side of survival horror, give this one a shot. Just be prepared to put in a bit of effort, and you'll be rewarded with a story that'll stick with you long after you've turned the last page.
