Docela dobrá mayovka, ozvláštněná africkým prostředím. Hlavní hrdinové, bratři Schwar(t)zové, by klidně mohli být Old Shatterhandem, kdyby měl O. S. sourozence. Kniha obsahuje několik opravdu povedených scén a typický Mayův humor, od začátku druhého ...more

Celkem průměrný příběh z Divokého západu, na Mayovy poměry dokonce podprůměrný... Nemohl jsem se zbavit dojmu, že recykluje motivy a situace, které už byly s větším úspěchem použity v jiných a podstatně lepších mayovkách. Dávám tři hvězdičky, ale kdy ...more

Závěrečný díl Ve stínu pádišáha patří v rámci série spíše k průměrným svazkům, i tak se ale jedná o dobré počtení - a to přesto, že May některé situace recykluje téměř do omrzení. Například způsob, jak hlavní hrdina průběžně získává informace o další ...more

Milan Pohl and 2 other people liked Matej Hudáček's review of Z Bagdadu do Istanbulu (V tieni padišaha #3): "May v treťom dieli siaha riadne hlboko. Azda celá kniha je silno ohraničená ťažkými témami a predovšetkým smrťou. Hneď prvé kapitoly ponúknu nečakanú vzburu v protagonistovej družine – všetci sme si akosi zvykli, že Kara ben Nemsí je najsilnejší a na" Read more of this review »
