WHAT are you reading right now?

Metro 2033. I heard it was 'alright' but not great, but the allure of a Russian author sucked me in. It's alright so far.

It has the usual Russian literary charm involving lots of exclamation marks and oft lost in translation descriptive writing, but there's a good portion of the book where the author must have gotten bored and just decided to skip ahead with the story and not bother writing about boring bits or things that must have been too difficult to explain, or that he couldn't figure out continuation for.

how's it compare to the game

Well I haven't played the game, but my brother has it and he's going to lend it to me or copy it or whatever.

It got better towards the end, then a bit stupid, then alright, then good, then it was over. The book, that is.
