Posts from Sergei Lukyanenko’s works.

[JABALAH!!!]

I read everything. Well... it's not amazing. But it's still worth reading, it deserves it.

I've read all the Night Watch books :) and Black Palm Face too.
It's wonderful! Yes! Lukyanenko is great.
I really liked...

Of his works, I liked Draft and Final Draft the most.

I think the movies ruined the impression of the Night Watch. The plot of the books was changed to suit the films. The books (Night Watch) are more interesting. And somehow, the idea that you can't create your own happiness at the expense of another's has been pushed to the background... if it turns out that your girlfriend has left you for another, you can't forcibly bring her back, especially using magic, against her will... that would be like creating a half-zombie. And in general, love plays a big role, both for the characters of the Day Watch and the Night Watch. P.S. Lukyanenko is a good writer... but he has written a lot, and half of his books are not very good. You can't make all books masterpieces. P.S.2 - The latest Competitors - I liked it, there will definitely be a sequel... Quote - The events of the films took place in the books. They were dreamed by Yegor - the plot in the books and films intersect by approximately 50%.

All four books are magnificent! And the events of the films took place in the books. They came to Yegor in a dream. The appearance of the Black Palm is disgusting; Vasiliev is a

Moderated: PROFANITY in the message

I've only read the first three (up to Shades of Darkness), and I just found out about the last one:D.

quote - The events in the movies took place in the books. They were dreamed up by Yegor - the plot in the books and movies overlaps by about 50%

It's more like 15%, or even less. These 15% are terms like "Others," "Twilight," "Watch," the same names for some characters as in the books, and a couple of similar moments.

Also, the movies completely distorted the theme and the meaning of the books, and they turned Anton into some kind of loser. It's embarrassing to even compare Zavulon from the movie with Zavulon from the books.

Initially, they wanted to shorten the plot to fit it into the limited film time, but this required restructuring it. Yegor being Anton's son is nonsensical. It's clear that the subsequent "Day Watch" was already some kind of plot-driven trash. Lukyanenko sacrificed his self-respect, allowing them to make something awful out of his book, but he received a substantial sum in return.

Not to mention Friske as Alice.

I recently read another book by Lukyanenko. I adore "Spectrum." I believe it is the greatest work of modern science fiction, very profound and philosophical. I read it with pleasure and in one sitting.

Specter, huh? *notes it down* I've read all the Night Watch books and Rough Draft with Aftermath, and overall, I liked them, 4/5.

Yes, I highly recommend it. P.S. You already mentioned "Night Watch." And "Spectrum" is the best thing I've read by him. IMHO.

Heh, I read "Labyrinth of Reflections," from 1996, almost a classic :) It's definitely an interesting book; Sergey described the current Internet quite well, albeit in a slightly different way. There are a couple of ideas that certainly deserve to be considered. If anyone has read it, we can discuss it in this thread :)
And by the way, the signature is a quote from the book :)

Haven't gotten around to "Labyrinth" yet. I need to check it out; I've heard good things about it.
