I just didnt feel invested in the characters. I understand the metaphors the book was using, but I just didn’t connect.

Не один раз читал эту книгу, но с возрастом нахожу там все больше того, что не замечал, или, точнее, не понимал, ранее.
Стругацкие великолепны - очень глубокие размышления вызывает книга, которая при этом читается легко.

I overly enjoyed the constantly expanding city, from different viewpoint with different jobs. Lovely characters, it does feel like a big journey. Third book I read from them, I will read their others too.
