Чародеи
"По улице небольшого северного городка катит запыленный "икарус". По сторонам улицы тянутся сначала старинные крепкие заборы, мощные срубы из гигантских почерневших бревен, с резными наличниками на окнах, с деревянными петушками на крышах. Потом появляются новостройки – трехэтажные шлакоблочные дома с открытыми сквериками, "икарус" разворачивается на площади и останавливается у крытого павильона. Из обеих дверей начинают выходить пассажиры – с чемоданами, с узлами, с мешками, с рюкзаками и с ружьями в чехлах. Одним из последних спускается по ступенькам, цепляясь за все вокруг двумя чемоданами, молодой человек лет двадцати пяти, современного вида: бородка без усов, модная прическа-канадка, очки в мощной оправе, обтягивающие джинсы, поролоновая курточка с многочисленными "молниями".

Увы, история была не очень интересна. Да и количество персонажей на повесть как-то было многовато. Не было полного погружения в историю, да и концовка, скорее, вызвала недоумение. Хотя, в общем, творчество Стругацких мне очень нравится.

Мне не зашло совсем. Больше половины аудиокниги прослушал на автомате. Но зато очень подробно описана бюрократия советских времён. Местами аж мерзко становится, и в то же время радостно что сейчас всё улучшилось. Но вот история - мимо
