Jednoduše geniální, fantasie mi v dětství při četbě pracovala na plné obrátky.

[Volodymyr Yatsevsky · Rating 5 out of 5]

Это первая «большая» книга которую я прочел сыну, получив огромное удовольствие. Мы читали по главе каждый вечер перед сном и мне хотелось тут же прыгнуть в следующую. Множество смешных моментов и персонажей, чего стоит только один паук-ткач-троглодит.

An absolute delight of a book! Fast-paced, adventurous, full of great ideas and, a bit unexpectedly - even humour!
If you are worried this is a "soviet propaganda" book, you need not worry. Besides a passing mention od the 1st of May parade on the Red Square, there is really nothing political - unless a dream of a better world is a political one.

Skvělá kniha, dost možná moje nejoblíbenější v době, kdy jsem byla dítě. Neuvěřitelně originální, barvitá, napínavá, čtivá a zábavná. Pokud tenhle titul neudělá z vašeho syna nebo dcery celoživotního sci-fi fandu, tak už nic.

It has that “Soviet flavor”, but the story itself is quite interesting.

[Letande D'Argon · Rating 1 out of 5]

"Ideologically correct" Sci-Fi. From commies to commies. Not as bad as previous story in this series, though. Actually, this one is considered to be one of the best, thanks to how it introduced many characters that were considered iconic back in the USSR. It also has some sort of mystery in it, which makes it more interesting. Unfortunately, it's still Soviet stuff. The worst kind of it too. You see, there were two kinds of Sci-Fi back in USSR (Back in the US~ Back in the US~ Back in the USSR!~ ♪♫ Aheam! Sorry). The one from the authors who were ready to risk it and write something real and the one from those, who were glad to lick some red butts just because it was easier that way. Unfortunately, this one is from the second kind.

Even though Kir Bulychev did a lot for Sci-Fi in Soviet Russia (can't argue with that), it still can't change the fact that this novel is just our typical red butt licking. Every single character here talks like he, or she is reading a Soviet schoolbook. It doesn't even feel like proper dialogues. Nobody even talks like that! Not a single character here feels real. It's more like we have a bunch of zombies who were programmed to think and say only the "right" stuff. The one that was allowed by Kremlin. In other words, it's just that - a typical Soviet propaganda. The one that makes me puke since I was a kid.

I said it before and I'll say it again - doing such things is a crime. When you're giving kids propaganda while masking it as a Sci-Fi story, you're a criminal. This books is as much Sci-Fi as those fake stories about "Good old man Lenin" in Soviet schoolbooks. There was a good chance for this one to become a nice novel, but propaganda just killed it. No matter how hard I try, I just can't force myself to enjoy something like that. Yes, there are some cute little ideas here. But man, it's impossible to enjoy something with so obvious propaganda in it. It's like drinking tea with poo in it. Yes, the tea itself maybe not that bad. Maybe there's even some milk it. But there's a freakin' poo in it! And man it stinks.

😍😍😍

[laskavka · Rating 2 out of 5]

První část obsahující kratičké příhody byla hrozně super a zábavná, bohužel ale většinu knihy zaujímá jeden velký příběh, který je podle mě nic moc i pro dětské čtenáře. Dočteno jenom kvůli tomu, že nemám ráda nedokončené čtení.

Yksi tähti lisää nostalgiasta. Tämä kirja lapsuudessa vahvasti vaikutti kiinnostukseeni avaruutta kohtaan. Kannessa kun oli vielä tyttö, muissa ajan kirjoissa tuntui seikkailevan vain poikia.

fun to read for a 9 year old
