Homo Zapiens

Full of typos and run on sentences. Could be a botched translation, but this book is hard to read and understand.

As brillant as the book is, I've never seen such a bad Kindle edition. Hundreds of typos, especially in the italics sections - and there are quite a lot of italic fragments. This edition is in itself an ode to piracy.

This book ranks up there with Buddha's LIttle Finger andThe Sacred Book of the Werewolf as one of Pelevin's best. He entertains us with a good story, gives a scathing critique of our shallow materialistic values, gives us glimpses of the divine, and brings us home the same day. I liked the book so much I ordered one for a friend. He says he reads it on the toilet, which, if you know Pelevin, is entirely fitting.

This book is basically Russian "Fight Club". Very trippy. I feel like it's a fairly dated book; the themes would have been groundbreaking in the '90s but feel very tired and overused from the perspective of a 2015 reader. This book was a required text for my school's Russian Thought and Civilization class.

You gotta love this one. Metafiction, if there is a genre like that. Intelligent and gripping. These Russians, I tell you...

Oh man. This book is a real trip. If you love quasi-spirituality, sci-fantasy, urban fantasy, or supernatural fiction, this could be your next great read.If you are easily offended, take a pinch of salt in with you.

Another good book by Viktor Pelevin. Not his best but still a great read. If you haven't read any of his stuff then you should. He has a unique voice and a very fresh approach to writing.

Audible should have adapted this book as their token full-length Victor Pelevin audiobook. This is more engrossing than Sacred Book of the Werewolf.

Very clever, intelligent book, a lot of humour and sarcasm. Funny and a bit sad view on future for any developed society.
