Reviews for Equations of Life

• Exciting but slightly confusingBook rating: 3

  It is set in the future after Armageddon, where Japan has disappeared into the sea and England has dissolved into one city - London Metrozone - that is divided into sections by various mobs.
  
  Samuil Petrovitch is a Russian PhD student with a mysterious past, and a heart that needs to be replaced. He usually keeps to himself, but when he saves a woman from being kidnapped, everything turns on its head. Now he is just trying to survive.
  
  I found the world the book is set in hard to understand. There is no back story, so the reader is left piecing everything together as they go. It took almost the whole book for me to do this.
  
  The book is action packed, with mobster-style happenings. Quick, staccato action.
  
  Since Petrovitch is Russian, all of his profanity and reaction phrases are in Russian. I found that a little hard to follow, since I know no Russian. The intent comes across, but the actual words used are a mystery to me.
  
  Overall, I found this to be an exciting, albeit slightly confusing, read. The quick action makes it seem like it would appeal more to men than women. Since it is the first in a trilogy, I would guess the next volume would be easier to read, since I am now familiar with the world situation. by Sarah Merchant
