adventurous emotional funny medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix

Abbastanza bello, anche se non all'altezza del primo. Forse una certa sovrabbondanza di "colpi di scena" verso la fine... ma glielo si può perdonare.

Ma bello! Ottimo world-building, personaggi interessanti (anche se i cattivi sono un po' tagliati con l'accetta... i buoni no però, ed è curioso), una storia che ti cattura e di cui vuoi sapere la fine.
Che non è in questo libro però! Voglio assolutamente leggere quello che viene dopo!

Interesting concept, good moral of the story, ultimately frustrating in the end.

Vietām nedaudz neveikla valoda, iespējams, vainīgs tulkojums. Neesmu droša, ka man patīk "atskatīsimies uz notikumiem, kuri izskaidro visu, kas notiek tagad" stils, kādā sarakstīta visa grāmata, bet stāsts kopumā ir ļoti aizraujošs.

Komunisms, eko-domāšana, kolonizēšana un primitīvas ciltis, brīnišķīgas teorijas un pavisam ikdienišķas, mūsdienu cilvēcei raksturīgas idejas ievietotas fantāzijas vidē ar pāris milimetru gariem cilvēciņiem, pretīgiem ļaundariem (galvenā ļaundara aprakstam es visu laiku ātri skrienu pāri, jo, to lasot, man paliek nelabi) un lielu varonību.

Lieliska literatūra bērniem un tiem, kas kādreiz bijuši bērni, ilustrācijas aizrauj elpu.

OMG this is a CHILD'S BOOK yet it deals with issues of poverty, political power struggle, love and the harsh reality of living on the run. If you can, READ IT

It's really warm in my room and rain is pouring outside, and for some reason my mind wandered back to my childhood, sitting in bed and devouring Tobie Lolness time and time again. There are few books that have had such a strong impact on me and I can't wait to read them again when I come home.

Great adventurous book to read with the young folk or for them to read themselves; I loved the fresh take on there being tiny people in this world, the detail that's gone into imagining their environment from such a different view and the snippets of political and social commentary that links their world with ours.
