This was the most chaotic and confusing book I have ever read. In my opinion it didn't bring anything new to the table, only repeated the last 2 books. I guess the point was to show how rotten and foolish the humanity is but it would have made the same point if it had been 200 pages shorter. To be honest, how does Artyom trust anyone after all this gaslighting? I would have just left alone. All his perils seem stupid and useless to me. Also, I will never understand how he can yell at somebody the worst offensive stuff and 10 pages later be besties again.
