This book is all about visiting your parents during uni summer holiday.
These two students are all like nah we don’t believe in all this old guff, yeah, we are like all nihilist yeah right look it up old man and they both have nihilist t shirts so they go see one of them’s daddy who is all oh I don’t understand this terrible younger generation, they talk so fast and they like all that hip hop music, but this daddy, we got to say he’s kind of cool because hey, he only got himself a little 18 year old girlfriend what is living with him, and he only like already got a kid with her, so the son is like, whoah, okay, whatever, daddy, you old goat.
Then there's an argument with an uncle that goes - you kids you don't know nothing and they say nah, man, not us, man. You. So then they get on their motorbike and off they go to see some high toned lady that’s a relative and she’s I’m sad but I’m too intelligent to need a man, but she goes for the tall one that looks like Robert Pattison and sparks fly. The other one, he likes the young sister, who plays Mozart, it’s what they use to do. We don’t do that no more. Imagine if young females played Mozart nowadays. I should say they wouldn’t get no canoodling, you know what I mean.
So then they barrel off to visit Robert Pattison’s daddy and mom and he does a lot of sneering and lolling about and I got to confess sounds like when I went back home last time. Yeah lolling and sneering, I can relate. So like then they leave and go back to the two hot ladies which I would have done myself and then they go back to the first daddy and then something happens, yeah, for real. Well, it isn’t too much, but it’s something. And then something else happens, and then that’s it.
I’d say 2 and a half stars. I’m rounding up to 3 because nihilists are pretty cool. It means you don’t believe in nothing. Nothing, man! Serious.

BTW, this was the first Russian novel I read as a teenager, followed by "Dead Souls".
