A review by lidotchka
Metro 2033 by Dmitry Glukhovsky
5.0
★★★★★ - It took me time to really enjoy this book but continuing my reading was definitely worth it.
I know, I am giving a 5-star review to a book a kinda struggled reading. Yes, the first 200 pages were painfully boring, I hated them and almost stopped my reading. However, I decided to continue and I am so glad I did.
After this dull start, the book was amazing. A lot of things actually happened (my main complaint is that it was very slow to really start and get into the story. That's why I didn't like the first 200 pages). It was a long time I hadn't been that invested in a story and that's the reason why I think this book deserves a 5-star review.
