    I finished Metro 2033 by Dmitry Glukhovsky, read book 1 of The Brothers Karamazov, and am almost done with The Fifth Wave by Rick Yancey.

        I wouldn’t. It read like a video game. I was excited by the premise, but the story was a let down for me.

      What do you think about 5th Wave? You reminded me that I have a copy on the bottom of a stack, still unread. I’m currently about halfway into Red Sparrow (I like it so far; the author seems to know his stuff), and I’ll finish that first, but I could re-sort my piles to make it more visible if given a reason to.

        Its funny. I was excited about Metro 2033 and skeptical of 5th wave, and I was disappointed by metro 2033 and surprised by 5th wave.

        I really liked the story in 5th wave. It’s got a little teenage angst/romance in it, but it’s not too awful.

        What I’m worried about in the second book is what looks like a setup of a full on love triangle. I hope I’m wring about that (about to find out!)
