Of course mother had to pretend they didn't exist and grandmother was convinced they had the devil in them.

But that wasn't their fault. Was it?

Cathy knew what to do. She knew it was time to show her mother and grandmother that the pain and terror of the attic could not be forgotten...Show them. Show them -- once and for all.

reliving my teen years.
By J. Buke
Oh my!!!Cathy, you naughty, naughty, dirty girl!! hahaha! I read this book back when I was 17 in 1980 and I remember being shocked and a little turned on. Now at 51 I still find what a fun, little delight these books were to me as a teen, Now to reread them once more all these years later (due to the Lifetime upcoming move of Petals on May 26th) is just as much fun. Cathy is just too much as she seeks Revenge on her poor mother and hateful Grandmother ( well not really if you have read all the books, if you haven't you'll find out in Garden of Shadows what I mean in the end). This time around I actually read Shadows first then Flowers in the Attic and I actually liked it better that way. But if this is your first romp with these books read them in the proper order, be surprised in the end with a lot of unanswered questions finally answered. I will continue with the rest now that Lifetime as purchased the rights to all in this series. Would I say to read these books? Absolutely. Now that Summer is moving in and we all like a book to read at the beach, or on the deck, or just sitting in the sun in the yard. It's easy brain dead reading and once and awhile everyone needs it. These are not well written books (though they made millions for the author and the publisher) just a fun, silly little ditty to make you gasp, laugh and just plain put it down after reading it and call it trash,...but not bad trash!

Twisted Revenge
By M Feathers
***UPDATED REVIEW***
**I just started the third book If There Be Thorns. I must say, one must without a doubt read Petals on the Wind in order for the storyline to knit together. I stand by my review of this book, but it fits together without much confusion since I've began If There be Thorns. Don't become discouraged with Petals on the Wind if it seems confusing. You'll need the background for it all to blend.**
Flowers In a The Attic, even after 30 yrs and reading it twice, still remains among my list of favorites. Petals On The Wind is a book full of twisted revenge, yet suspenseful. You must stick with this book and not become discouraged if it seems as if it's going nowhere. It can be confusing at times, which led to me going back to re-read some parts. The main focus of this book is Cathy seeking revenge on her mother while trying to fulfill her dreams of becoming a primaballerina. It doesn't focus much on Christopher or on Carrie. The confusion is Cathy herself. A confused teen who, in my opinion, doesn't know how to let go of the past while growing into adulthood. This sets her on a path of self-destruction in a way. She's smart and beautiful, but will not let go of the revenge towards her mother. She's also caught up in a tangled web of men fighting for her attention and her giving into the attention. Seducing her mothers new husband, Bart, is part of the revenge, but Cathy falls in love with him. There's Julian, her dance partner, who she's convinced she loves and marries...stays married to him although he's abusive and she justifies his actions in one way or another. Then there's her brother who still loves her and won't let go of the idea that they were meant to be together, sinful or not. Dr Paul, who took the 3 of them in and became a "father figure", made sure they didn't go without, including an education...but somehow Cathy manages to seduce him and a love affair develops between them. The book is scattered and, as I said, it focused on Cathy and the way she goes about life as she sees it and is consumed full of revenge and she continues to plot against her mother. Christopher and Carrie are mentioned, but clearly aren't the main focus. I'll have to admit, the revenge towards her mother at the end did indeed make a wonderful grand entrance. But it seemed after that, the author made a mad dash to tie up the loose ends of the novel which seemed scattered and not well written. However, in order to continue with the series, one must read this book. I'm still left with questions as why the book was written in such a confusing manner. Perhaps the next book in the series will clarify the confusion and this book will become clear as to the way it was put together. I don't regret reading this book and yes, I do recommend it.

They should have stopped after the first book
By Just Jennie
So, I read all of the books in the series about a million years ago and decided, because of the Lifetime movies, to read them again.

After reading the first book (see my review) and then this one the author really should have just ended it after "Flowers in the Attic". This book, "Petals on the Wind" was just plain horrible. The plot was bad and it just got annoying how Cathy kept going on and on and on -- ad nauseam -- about the past and her mother.

Cathy: What cracked me up the most was that for all the complaining she did and stating how she wasn't anything like her mother she sure as heck spent a lot of time trying to act like her!

"I curled my lips into a smile, tilting my head back a bit and looked at him through sleepy eyelids like I had seen momma do."
"My hands went to my necklace in that nervous betraying way that was the habit of momma".
"I swayed my hips seductively as I looked up at him in that way momma did".

Ugh.

What else I found annoying was how every single man that Cathy came in contact with fell instantly in love with her. I got tired of hearing about how beautiful she was "I was at that age where I would walk down the street and men would almost get into accidents as they stared at me through their car windows because I was THAT gorgeous". .

Oh, and her HAIR! Good God almighty I wanted to rip it out of her skull. "My hair was my pride and joy! I would NEVER get a centimeter cut off of it! I loved my hair, the length, the way it felt, how beautiful it was. I brushed it a trillion times a day until it shone brilliantly! I even taught Paul how to wash it in the way that wouldn't make it knot up." I honestly began to wonder if she was Sampson's sister for all the love she had for her hair. She was, without a doubt, one of the vainest people out there.

Paul: I mean seriously: they walk up onto Paul's front porch and he does the slow once over on her, his eyes traveling from her legs to her face and back down. His eyes were always following her and he stared "lustily" at her and yet when she tried to seduce him he pushed her away. Later on I laughed when he confessed that he "fell in love with her the second he saw her standing on the porch." Please ya perv. She was barely seventeen and he was in his forties!

Juilian: Oh, Julian. Dark haired, beautiful Julian who was thirteenth in a long line of dancers "immediately fell in love with Cathy the second he walked into the studio and saw her dancing". And he spent all of his time whining about how much he loved her and "why can't you just love me Cathy?!" because she was constantly telling him to go away, that she didn't even like him.

And then . . . . she marries him. Why? Because Paul's sister made up some story about his thought-to-be-dead wife and instead of doing what any normal person would do which is confront your lover about what you just heard, what does she do? She runs off and marries Julian! Who -- SURPRISE! -- turns out to be an a-hole who is controlling -- not letting her go see her sister or brother (which I don't blame him because hello? Creepy incest much?) -- beats and rapes her. But wait! It gets better: she leaves him to go see her brother graduate. She goes to the taping of "Giselle" and ends up dancing with him where he breaks her toes because she left him. Then she goes back to their apartment and all of her stuff is trashed. She has a conversation with his mother who basically tells her that he's a big baby who needs a mom and Cathy is the one to be that person and suddenly Cathy realizes: I'VE LOVED HIM ALL ALONG! So to recap: he beats her, controls her, rapes her and in one conversation with his mother she discovers she loves him.Wow. Just. . . . wow.

Bart Winslow: Another character who falls "Madly in love" with Cathy after ONE encounter with her. He's married to her mother and the only reason Cathy is associating with him -- and trying to seduce him -- is to get back at her mother. She wants to steal him away from her to prove . . . . what? I really wasn't sure. Perhaps that she is exactly like her and that he wants someone younger? I really don't know. But again, she proves to be the epitome of an idiot woman. She invites him over to her house, wears a slinky dress that constantly shows her boobs, walks, talks and acts like her mother, gets him hot and bothered and doesn't deliver the goods. This prompts him to -- shockingly (not really) -- RAPE her! She tosses him out of the house, cries, gets mad and avoids him. Until they bump into each other again, go on another date and end up in bed together and then continue to see each other where he confesses that he loves her. And as part of her scheme to get him she becomes pregnant with his baby and basically tells him that was her plan all along, to have his child and now he could go back to his wife.

Brother Chris: I wanted to slap the crap out of him. Oh my GOD would you just stop being such a whipped wuss? She's your SISTER for crying out loud! I can understand, though, why he was so hung up on her because she constantly tormented him and turned him on. "Oh, the next thing I know I'm in Chris's arms and he's kissing me and I'm kissing him back! He slips his hand inside my night gown and I can feel his manliness press against me! I push him away screaming NO! NO! WE CAN'T DO THIS!" Then there are the times she climbs into bed with him and when he starts getting randy and begins to grope her she yells at him that that wasn't why she was there. THEN WHY THE HELL DID YOU CRAWL INTO BED WITH HIM?! And through all of this Paul knows what's going on between them and he THINKS IT'S PERFECTLY FINE! It's NOT! It is NOT fine to have sexual feelings for your SIBLING! Oh and the way he would sulk and be mad at her because she tried to push him away.

Carrie: I actually liked the very small part she had in the book. She was practically written out. I couldn't stand her in the first book and I even in the small parts she had in this one I couldn't stand her. I got tired of hearing about how small she was, how big her head was, how no one liked her and called her a freak (yeah, I get that kids can be cruel but I doubt she had NO friends). And I also find it hard to believe that she never grew. Like ever. Nor did she apparently ever gain any weight because if she did then her head wouldn't be so big. I hate to say it but I was actually happy when she died. Which, of course, Cathy blamed on their mother.

In the end all of the men who loved her die (except Chris of course): Julian commits suicide after being in a horrible car accident where his parents basically told him he would never be able to dance again and that he should just kill himself because he's nothing unless he's dancing.

Paul dies of natural causes. Well, he did have like a hundred "massive heart attacks" but ended up dying peacefully in his chair on the porch.

Bart burns to death when Foxworth Hall burns down after Cathy goes there on Christmas dressed up as -- you guessed it -- her mother in the same outfit that she wore fifteen years before. She goes there to ruin her mother by telling everyone there about how they were locked in the attic and she killed Cory and then in a round about way Carrie too. And of course this is where Bart confesses his love to Cathy and basically says "Yeah, I'll leave your mother for you because you're way more sane than her!" So momma has a nervous break down, runs to the attic, starts a fire and kills her mother and her husband.

In the end Cathy is left with two fatherless children -- Bart's and Julian's -- and ends up living with her own brother as man and wife. Which of course Chris is tickled pink about it but Cathy is as always trying to make him believe that she doesn't love him 'in that way' as she teases him and flirts with him and you know they're sleeping in the same bed.

I really don't think I will read the last two books in the series again. If I recall correctly (I downloaded a sample of "If There Be Thorns" ) it's basically just a boring book with Jory and Bart recounting their lives in a journal type manner and in the end Bart ends up being this crazy religious zealot who is a mirror image of what his great-grandfather Malcolm was. If it's half as awful as "Petals on the Wind" was then I'll be happy to save my $7.

The myth of the natural black athlete is widespread, though it’s usually talked about only when a sports commentator or celebrity embarrasses himself by bringing it up in public. Those gaffes are swiftly decried as racist, but apart from their link to the long history of ugly racial stereotypes about black people—especially men—they are also harmful because they obscure very real, hard-fought accomplishments. As�Black Men Can’t Shoot demonstrates, such successes on the basketball court don’t happen just because of natural gifts—instead, they grow out of the long, tough, and unpredictable process of becoming a known player.

Scott Norman Brooks spent four years coaching summer league basketball in Philadelphia. And what he saw, heard, and felt working with the young black men on his team tells us much about how some kids are able to make the extraordinary journey from the ghetto to the NCAA. He tells the story of two young men, Jermaine and Ray, following them through their high school years and chronicling their breakthroughs and frustrations on the court as well as their troubles at home. Black Men Can’t Shoot is a moving coming-of-age story that counters the belief that basketball only exploits kids and lures them into following empty dreams—and shows us that by playing ball, some of these young black men have already begun their education even before they get to college.

From School Library Journal
Brooks (sociology, Univ. of California at Riverside), having studied under and been inspired by the highly esteemed Elijah Anderson at the University of Pennsylvania, provides an ethnographic description of recreational basketball in South Philadelphia. A self-professed frustrated former high school basketball player (he blames himself and his former coach for his shortcomings), the author looks at the hopes and dreams of young inner-city black men he coached who aspired to play ball professionally. In true sociological tradition, he presents detailed information on members of the famed Blade Rodgers Neighborhood Development League, based on interviews with these athletes, their families, coaches, and other locals. While focusing on two athletes in particular, Brooks educates readers about a number of "street" realities (e.g., the daily struggle for survival and basketball viewed as a way out of the ghetto). Demystifying certain racial stereotypes, Brooks explains that even God-given skills must be developed through hard work and dedication. His book is a worthy ethnographic text and is recommended especially for students of sports sociology.—Tim Delaney, SUNY at Oswego

Review
“Scott was an average high school basketball player, but Black Men Can’t Shoot is an all-star book. I couldn’t put it down. It cracked me up, put me on edge, and reminded me why I love this game—Chuck, Jermaine, and Ray, the old heads and the young bulls. It’s about the people.” (Jason Kidd, nine-time NBA All-Star)

“This is a smart and authentic book. It not only captures the feel of Philadelphia high school basketball; it provides acute and accurate insight into the minds of players. Although I’m on the other side, I learned something. Most importantly, it’s a moving story that stays with you.” (Fran Dunphy, Head Coach, Temple University)

“Brooks makes clear how contingent the fate of these young men is on the step-by-step negotiation of multiple career steps and how many ways there are to fail. But he also offers a bright note to counter the endless tales of misery from the ghetto by showing us how many second and third and fourth chances there are to recover what seemed to be lost. Black Men Can’t Shoot is compelling—you really want to know what will happen next, and I don’t think anyone who starts to read this book will put it down until they get to the end.” (Howard S. Becker, author of Outsiders)

“Black Men Can’t Shoot is carefully observed, ethnographically rich, and conceptually sophisticated—an original work of importance that provides a powerful eye on the world of black ghetto youth today. A must read for anyone wishing to understand.” (Elijah Anderson, author of Streetwise)

“Brooks represents Philly well. It’s clear that he not only sat on the bench—he learned some things. His writing is right on the money. It took me back to my playing days and the relationships I’ve developed through basketball. From the gym to the playgrounds and uptown, Brooks lets you know what Philly ball is all about.” (Lionel Simmons, third all-time leading NCAA scorer)

“In this vivid depiction of the urban reality of grassroots basketball, Scott Brooks exhibits an insider’s passion for the game, broad and deep knowledge of the local history and social context, and a real feel for the significance of basketball in Philly’s black community. Along with offering important ideas about the relationship between race and sports, Black Men Can’t Shoot is packed with genuine drama and intrigue making it one of those rare books that are both insightful and truly engaging.”

(Douglas Hartmann, author of Race, Culture, and the Revolt of the Black Athlete)

“[Brooks] looks at the hopes and dreams of young inner-city black men he coached who aspired to play ball professionally. In true sociological tradition, he presents detailed information on members of the famed Blade Rodgers Neighborhood Development League, based on interviews with these athletes, their families, coaches, and other locals. While focusing on two athletes in particular, Brooks educates readers about a number of ‘street’ realities (e.g., the daily struggle for survival and basketball viewed as a way out of the ghetto). Demystifying certain racial stereotypes, Brooks explains that even God-given skills must be developed through hard work and dedication. His book is a worthy ethnographic text.”

(Library Journal)

"Readers are taken into the world of two young basketball players battling the constraints of urban poverty and the subsequent challenges associated with using basketball as a means to rise above these constraints. . . . Brooks was able to gain access to a world that few outsiders experience or understand. Rich, detailed descriptions of events and settings, along with significant quotes by the players, coaches, parents, and other influential individuals in the young men's lives, lend credibility and validity to the ethnography's findings." (Choice)

"A very entertaining, in depth look at the high school basketball scene in the Philadelphia area. . . . Basketball allows these kids to dream--it allows them to consider that they might have a future other than hanging out on the street corner. Consider it documentation of the transformative effects of hoops." (Jeff Fox Hoops Manifesto)

Realistic view of youth basketball
By Applied Sociologist
I use this book in my sociology of sports class. One of my students is a retired NBA player: he says it's a realistic portrayal of his experience. The book is an ethnographic study - that is, personal observations, participation, interviews and notes - on Black kids in Philadelphia and their experience in after school basketball league. Coaches, parents and the teen boys are all given a chance to tell their story and the result is a very readable and engaging study of the structural forces and individual determination that lead to a basketball college scholarship. Or not. "You either a basketball player or a drug dealer" is my favorite quote. Does it reinforce stereotypes about inner city black youth? You decide.

All Jasmine wanted was a calm summer in Pine Bush. When she sees a UFO her first night home from college, she is willing to brush it off as swamp gas reflected off Venus, until two men arrive at her door to harass her into silence about a picture she did not take. Soon she realizes Men in Black may be the least of her worries and that ignoring the Grays and their plans for her will only embolden them. If she doesn’t figure out why she is so interesting to aliens, Men in Black, and a mysterious man who seems to brush off harm, she may not have an autumn to look forward to.

Alien hijinks
By Ivy
I really enjoyed Artificial Gods. It's about a college girl who comes home for the summer and sees a UFO in the sky. Although she's not the kind of person who believes in alien life, the next day she's visited by some men who behave very strangely. . . and it just gets weirder from there. Her sister Chrys and a boy that Chrys either is or is not dating get involved in the otherworldly hijinks as well. Are there really aliens? Or are there even darker forces at work that are disguising themeselves as alien life? The story gets a little bit grisly at times, but always stays interesting and unpredictable. I really liked the main character Jasmine, especially her musings about the underpinnings of her relationship with her sister and with boys. Also, the novel has a consistent light humorous touch. The story is set in the Hudson Valley where I live (to get specific, it's set in Pine Bush), and it's always fun to read a story set somewhere you know.

I previously read We Shadows, the first book in the series, which is about all different characters (although Shane and her friends make a cameo towards the end of Artificial Gods.) I don't think having read that or not having read the second in the series made a big difference to my reading enjoyment. To me these books seem more like companion novels than a series, strictly speaking, and I'm guessing you could probably read them in any order. I suppose I don't really know until I read them all, but that has been my experience so far. I like it when a series is written out of order, a la Lois McMaster Bujold.

What didn't I like about this novel? The formatting! This is one of the first ebooks I ever read so I don't know if this is common or if it's something I could have fixed somehow, but the line breaks were all screwed up so that they ended in the middle of

the line and had weird spaces (like this.)
It drove me bananas! But eventually I got used to it.

Action packed Suspense
By All Things Book - Review
This book touches on just about everything from The Mothman Prophesies to ghosts to bigfoot and yes even Aleens and UFO's

I was entranced by this book, it contains a lot of action and adventure. Mystery and suspense. Thomm Quackenbush was abe to encorporate a sense of suspenseful adventure and mystery while detailing a small town being a focal point for Aleens to enter our world through the use of two sisters. During a Alien festival, their attempt at becoming corporeal is foiled.

"They were once fairies and elves. Now they are creatures from beyond the stars because you no longer believe in anything but humans."

Awesome. thatisall
By Samuel Alexander
Okay.� There is only one thing I can say about this novel.� That I absolutely loved it.� Couldn’t put it down.� Even the annoying parts of the book were curtailed by good reasons for having them in there.� This book kept me in that I can’t wait to get to the end, on the edge of my seat, tapping the screen for next page on my kindle, anxiety mode.� Which of course is what any good book should do.� So lets get to the break down.

The flow was perfect.� There was a clear goal.� The typical reluctant hero who actually went forward regardless of their trepidation.� That was nice.� I didn’t have to sit through an entire book waiting for them to wake up and get moving, they moved along while trying to convince themselves everything was just not happening.� That kept the book moving instead of pages and pages of denial till the lead finally decides to do what must be done.�

So the plot points came just when they needed to come.� The clues to the mystery always left me thinking, ahhhhh I want more.� Which is great.� Just enough to always keep me on the edge without feeling I wasn’t left hanging too long before more arrived.� Unlike the first two installments where I quite literally felt I got nothing till the end.� This book is riddle with all those enticing little tidbits of almost full information and crafty little turns that make any readers brain tingle.� All in all the plot went as it should, the events and situations where timed right.� This was a brilliant piece of fiction.

Before the character break down the biggest noticeable thing is firstly all the main characters have a certain depth that has that what you think they are on the surface only to find out, hey there is more to this person after all.� There was only one annoying back-story in this book.� The mothers.� Completely disinterested.� This book is about, Jasmine, her younger sister Chrys, and Dylan.� And they were very well developed without any need for lengthy back-story.� And finally the absence of all that virgin nonsense.� Yaaay!

So Jasmine.� I was almost annoyed with our lead.� But there was something about her annoying tenacity to protect her sister that made me keep reading.� I was secretly hoping she wasn’t this girl afraid of intimacy and the more no virgin talk came up about any of the male or female leads the more convinced I became that maybe she isn’t like his other characters.� So I didn’t really like her, yes she was annoying, but I understood her.� She was very well written, and she even not believing in aliens still went forward and researched while simultaneously trying to debunk all the truths she was finding.� That was her only floor.� The assumption that if you believed in Aliens that you were indeed crazy, when most people are normal people who just happen to believe.� She had trouble making the distinction considering she had also seen and was always on the border of believing she had indeed gone nuts.�

The best thing about her was of course the reasoning behind why she fails at relationships and seems to only have any emotion for her sister.� It was logical.� A good plot device and it came early enough in the book that she had time to deny it go through the motions and ultimately accept it in the final pages.� She did the one thing I’ve been harping on about the other books, grew.� She started of in this very over protective blah state.� But as she got faced with things beyond her and was forced to question almost everything she believed, she came out on top, better than before, and decidedly working towards becoming a whole person.

Chrys.� She seems to be flowing on the wind with this whole alien thing.� Just your typical teenager without any of the intimacy issues of the first.� And she’s just likeable, she likes boys, but is only halfway boy crazy and isn’t an idiot.� And she sort of grounds the book.� She’s the one out of the three that consciously decides that even with all that’s going on around her she is going to be normal.� Not ignore it, but just take it in stride.� And she can do that and still be scared and still have nervous breakdowns and still argue with her sister here and there.� She didn’t sacrifice the quest for information for the sake of being a normal girl. �She very seamlessly flirted through both.� This seemed to rub of a bit on her sister.� Not much but a teeny bit.� I read the book the whole time hoping that she would crack Jasmine and somehow get her to wholly let loose and stop stressing so much.

Also in the depth area.� It turns out that she too can be protective.� In the face of danger she made a choice to do something and did it in such a way the characters and the reader where fooled.� And she grows to appreciate her sister more and their bond grows into what real sisterhood should be.� The good kind.� She seemed to grow a bit stronger and had the more visible emotions of the main characters.�

Dylan.� Calm cool collective, and handsome.� My only issue with this is that Jasmine only found him attractive after a shave and business like attire for a funeral.� Just a personal peeve that rugged manly man can’t be attractive.� I always thought he was handsome, as did Chrys.� But hey that’s just me.� Moving on he was the catalyst that got the book going.� The bearer of information and somehow managed to make me smile.� Lots.� He had that odd sense of funny without ever having to crack a joke.� Just perfect for any good reader to gobble up as a love interest.� He is the believer that holds together Chrys’s just good old fashioned interest and Jasmine’s complete disbelief and he gently pushes them in all the right directions.� They would be lost without him and furthermore he just makes it all seem like it’s normal even though being hunted by aliens is clearly not normal.

He also grows a need to protect them both and ends up easily falling into a role of protector when at first he’s just a simple heartthrob with mountains of alien information.� And it’s that mountain of factoids that saves the day in the end. �And just like the other two the more he swims through the pages the more you understand what drives him and start to feel and connect with him.

And then there’s a character who was finally written well.� Gideon.� Yes.� He was helpful yet aloof.� When he was vague it wasn’t a deterrence to the three leads.� They all understood very well it seems that what was important was the information that he gave them, and not who or what he was, and why he couldn’t directly help.� Unlike the Shane in the first book who kept demanding things she didn’t need.� Once that was established, he became more helpful.� More dark, more mysterious, and just more well rounded as you wanted to see why he was even in this book, and when he was missing you questioned how he was manipulating things and why.� There was a need to know why he was being so helpful yet kind of menacing about it.� It was very snape-esque.� I’m here to help you but I am a bit of a bad guy so I’m enjoying your distress just a bit.� It was fun to read his dialogue when the characters where smart enough and receptive enough to work through his comments.� And when they couldn’t understand his theories, which did annoy me a bit too, they just ignored the philosophy and focused on the points he was straying away from with all the info.� Shane did this mostly as he came to her the most.� And the even cooler part is when you find out how he’s helping, when he’s not even there.� Suffice it to say, I’ve had a love hate relationship with this guy for two books, and finally he’s written well and half of that is because of how the characters that interact with him are written.

This book is a stray away from the first two in that it is more about the aliens than daemons.� Which makes it read like it shouldn’t even be part of this series.� The only Character from the previous two who plays a role is the Gideon.� And when I was completely annoyed to see Shane, and Roselyn, and Dryden show up at the end, the actual ending made it make sense.� They barely got three pages.� And thankfully were not a part of the ending information dumps this author loves so much.� Which almost ruined the book.� To be fair.� I didn’t need the reveal.� It was unnecessary.� And almost bumped this book down to an eight.� It was confusing, not handled very well but ultimately once it was done and the tension rearised I quickly forgot about it.� In truth without it, the book would’ve read the same without the flashback.� I didn’t even know there were loose ends that needed tying until they were tied.� But I expected that so easily ignored it.� It’s just the style of this particular author to bombard you with stuff at the end which sadly, was needed in the first two.� But since this book was crafted so well quite literally none of the explanation was needed.� The aliens did what they did, this person, (nice but somewhat predictable betrayal.� Still very good plot wise) betrayed you.� And now it’s die or live.� What shall it be?� I will admit that his explanation for what he did was needed.� Jasmine's big reveal, I kinda skimmed through it for the action at hand, and can sum it up in about four sentences.� It wasn’t that hard to figure out her reveal even skimming through those particular paragraphs.� IN my opinion the other should’ve gave the betrayer a few sentences at the beginning to explain it.� Then when Jasmine looked shocked and defiant her memory would flood back to her and she would realise it was the truth.� Quick.� Efficient, cue in evil villain maniacal laugh and move on.

So I enjoyed this.� And I knew I was going to enjoy it within the first three chapters.� That’s usually all I give a book before I decide if I’m going to be head over heals for it.� I couldn’t put it down, and it was executed well.� And only the little annoyances, Jasmine’s end reveal, the mother’s backstory, the borderline intimacy issues that the former lead characters had (thankfully there was a legitimate reason this time), I loved.� It so it gets a ten out of me.� In fact I loved it so much I almost want to tell everyone not to read my reviews for book one and two.�

And there is nothing like an ending that completely and totally explains an entire book previous.� Especially a book that I did not enjoy.� It at the very least made me smile and nod a bit at the brilliance of it all if not make me like that particular book, still don’t.� But this ending, and this book clearly shows what I thought all along.� I said twice this author’s writing style I like.� I said twice his books always felt like they were going somewhere and plateaued at going somewhere.� This book was going somewhere, took you along for the ride, reached it’s destination and then left you think, oh that’s what book two was all about.� And that’s just freakn mind-blowingly awesome.

Faith renewed I’ll read another one of his books.� Artificial Gods has saved the day.

he novel that gave birth to the video games 'Metro 2033' and 'Metro: Last Light' The breathtaking original story that inspired both the METRO 2033 and METRO: LAST LIGHT video games! An international bestseller, translated into 35 languages. Set in the shattered subway of a post apocalyptic Moscow, Metro 2033 is a story of intensive underground survival where the fate of mankind rests in your hands. In 2013 the world was devastated by an apocalyptic event, annihilating almost all mankind and turning the earth’s surface into a poisonous wasteland. A handful of survivors took refuge in the depths of the Moscow underground, and human civilization entered a new Dark Age. The year is 2033. An entire generation has been born and raised underground, and their besieged Metro Station-Cities struggle for survival, with each other, and the mutant horrors that await outside. Artyom was born in the last days before the fire. Having never ventured beyond his Metro Station-City limits, one fateful event sparks a desperate mission to the heart of the Metro system, to warn the remnants of mankind of a terrible impending threat. His journey takes him from the forgotten catacombs beneath the subway to the desolate wastelands above, where his actions will determine the fate of mankind. BURIED. ALIVE. It is now two decades since the planet was convulsed by the Final War, which flashed across the continents, engulfing all of them in an instant, to close the final chapter in our history. Deployed in this war, the most advanced inventions and greatest discoveries of the human genius drove the human race back into caves, submerging civilization forever in the impenetrable gloom of a final Dark Age. Nowadays, in the year 2033, no one can recall any longer what triggered the hostilities. Absurd. But if you think for a moment, what does it matter who started it? Those who unleashed the war were the first to die… And the inheritance they left to us was a smoldering ember that used to be called the Earth. The entire world lies in ruins. The human race has been almost completely exterminated. Even cities that were not totally demolished were rendered unfit to live in by the radiation. And the rumors say that beyond the city limits lie boundless expanses of scorched desert and dense thickets of mutated forest. But what really is there, no one knows. The airwaves are empty, and when the few radio operators who are left tune in for the millionth time to the frequencies on which New York, Paris, Tokyo and Buenos Aires once used to broadcast, all they hear is a dismal howl. More than twenty years have passed since the day when the final plane took off. Railroad tracks, corroded and pitted with rust, now lead nowhere. The great construction projects of the age were transformed into ruins without ever being completed and the skyscrapers of Chicago and Frankfurt were reduced to rubble. The historic districts of Rome lie smothered in moss and fungus, the Eiffel Tower, gnawed through by reddish-brown leprosy, has snapped in half. And the weeds of fiction and fantasy are flourishing on the memory of humankind’s former glory. It is only twenty years since the war ended before it had even begun. But in those twenty years the world has changed beyond all recognition. The planet has new masters now, and the human race is condemned to huddle in burrows, consoling itself with memories. The radiation and viruses with which some human beings attempted to eradicate others have brought new creatures into the world. And now they rule by right over the desolate Earth. The mutants are far better adapted to this new world than human beings. The human era is almost over. There are not many of us left, only a few tens of thousands, out of seven billion human beings. We don’t know if there were others who survived in some other place, on the other side of the world, or if we are the last humans on the planet. We live in the Moscow Metro.

This was followed in 2010 by a series of satirical stories about Russia today - Stories about Motherland.

Deeply impressed by the world the author created
By N. H.
I first discovered Dmitry Glukhovsky’s METRO series through a video game play on youtube. My son, knowing my love for all things apocalyptic, showed me Let's Play Metro Last Light - Part 1 - In The Beginning… by Christopher Odd. I loved the first video and decided to look into the game. The game was based on a series of novels by Dmitry Glukhovsky. The first two novels were available in English and had audio book versions. The novella which links the first and second book is available in English but has no audio book version. Absolutely no debate on purchasing the audio books.

The universe METRO builds begins in our world. The cold war is over. The USSR is a thing of the past although it’s shadow lingers over modern day Russia. The main character, Artyom, is a young adult. He was born before the event but only has very few and fragmented memories of it. On the day of the event, he and his mother were visiting a park close to a metro station. That is why they survived. The metro stations could be sealed to stop contaminants from coming in (the metro was designed and built during the USSR period). Artyom and his mother make it into the metro and past the doors before they are sealed.

The metro develops into a new society. As time goes on, the different lines or branches develop different political ideologies. Some stations are more desirable than others, some have more resources, some have ways to grow food underground, some have access to uncontaminated water. Before long treaties are made, broken and fighting begins. The metro is no longer one system but a collection of city states that are connected by dark tunnels.

What is in the tunnels is the mystery that lies at the heart of the METRO 2033 book. Traveling even a few hundred meters into the tunnels can be dangerous. Some of the dangers are defined; hordes of rats, mutated life forms that got into the tunnels from above, marauding humans who prey on their own kind. Some of the dangers are undefined. People, groups of people and caravans, evenly armed ones disappear without a trace, without a sound and no sign of struggles. The tunnel dwellers have dubbed the cause of these disappearances as the “Dark Ones”.

The website [...] has a virtual tour of all the stations mentioned in the book. It is a wonderful way to connect the descriptions of severely damaged places with what they looked like in reality. Since the story begins in our reality, the photos are showing the reality of the Metro universe before the nuclear event.

METRO 2033 is the quest Artyom undertakes to save the entire Metro system. He is tasked with this by a mysterious man who is only referred to as “Hunter”. There is a time element to the quest. As in life in 2016, life in post-apocalypse 2033 does not go as planned. Artyom tours, sometimes unwillingly, many of the various city-states that make up the Metro. It is a fascinating trip. The characters are real. The various ideologies of the city-states are believable. The unknowns in the dark tunnels ratchet up the suspense to terrifying levels. By the end of the book, I was deeply impressed by the world the author created and how much I came to care about the characters in it.

METRO 2033: The Gospel According to Artyom is a bridge to METRO 2034. It is only twenty-seven pages but well worth the $2.99 price. Artyom illustrates the consequences of the events the ended METRO 2033. But this short piece also gives significant background into his life before and during the apocalyptic event. It really is worth the price.

METRO 2034 begins not long after the end of METRO 2033. The main characters are the “Hunter” from the first book, a man called Homer who believes it is his vocation to write a history and chronicle of the Metro, and a teenage girl named Sasha who has been recently orphaned. Sasha’s father used to be one of the dictator’s of a Metro city-state until he and the girl were banished to an area that had little to no hope of survival. They did survive. Her father managed to live long enough for her to mature and learn to defend herself before his death. Hunter, Homer and Sasha come together in a collision of missions, Sasha’s to survive, Hunter and Homer to find out what happened to a station that no longer broadcasts or sends runners with news. Artyom does not have a large part in this story. He does not make an appearance until Chapter 10. Yet everything that is happening is a consequence of his actions in METRO 2033. The threat this time is not the Dark Ones. It is something much worse and something almost impossible to stop. As with the first book, the characters are fantastic and I grew to care about them. The action is non-stop.

The audiobooks of METRO 2033 and METRO 2034 are narrated by Rupert Degas. He is fantastic. His accent for the Russian speakers if marvelous. When simply narrating, not the dialogue, he has a very clear voice with an English accent. His female voices are very well done. I have since added several of his titles to my wish list.

The last book in the series METRO 2035 has not been released in English yet. I wonder if a social media campaign of begging to the author could help facilitate that happening.

Great if you've played the game, though this edition/translation are not without errors.
By Joe
Bought this book after playing the amazing video game it inspired. The book was interesting, and as a film student, I always enjoy seeing what elements are altered between the mediums of text/film/video game. The book is certainly worth a read if you're familiar with the games and the Metro universe.

However, there are two major things that make this novel lose points for me. The first is specific to this edition of the book; being that there is no map of the Moscow Metro system whatsoever in it. When reading the novel, I always had my phone at my side with a map of Artyom's world ready to be pulled up for reference. The second issue is with the translation of the novel. While it isn't terrible, it certainly isn't refined, and I found myself losing train of thought and having to reread several paragraphs that contain more complex, articulate ideas. The sections where Artyom delves into philosophical thought or dreamscapes are particularly difficult to read, and even when you do manage to understand the point he is trying to convey, it is often uncomfortable to read.

A dense but provocative read
By M. Hirtzel
Dmitry Glukhovsky's METRO 2033 is a dense read, as one would expect a Russian spec-fic novel to be, but it's also filled with incredibly timely insight. Set post-World War III in the underground subway stations and pathways beneath Moscow, the book follows young adventurer Artyom on his quest from his home station to the center of the Metro, facing human foes as well as mutated ones.

METRO 2033 is a claustrophobic world populated with characters who range from hookah-smoking philosophers and maudlin historians to hard-nosed soldiers and handsome revolutionaries. The characters are overwhelmingly male, but that never distracted me. The protagonist, Artyom, is also more vessel and earpiece than hero for most of the book, though the action does pick up, notably in the second half. The author uses the varied stations and their microcosm cultures to investigate different attitudes and possibilities post-apocalypse, in a grim setting that feels fitting for a collapsed former world power.

As to the book itself, I've seen some reviewers commenting on the lackluster translation. I'll agree that some sections demand close attention to understand exactly what's going on, and there are typographical mistakes littered throughout the book. The prose in translated English is not particularly lyrical, but when the high points occur, they're riveting. This seems typical in a lot of translations. I've read many of the Swedish Henning Mankell "Wallander" novels, and they have a lot of these same issues. The story in this book was compelling enough for me to move past the issues, though, despite some stuttering.

Recommended for readers (or fans of the game series) who want to step into the sprawling, subterranean, dystopian world of the Russian Metro, who can also handle dense speculative fiction with political overtones.
