Vihik sisaldab mitmekülgse literaadi skeptilisi ja tundelisi mõtisklusi elust, kunstist, ajaloost, mälust, jumalast, loomadest, armastusest jne.
Autor hindab tervet mõistust ja püüab sellega maailma mõtestada, teiselt poolt aga leiab tema irooniline „mina“: „Kui ka miljon inimest ütleb midagi tobedat, on see ikkagi üksnes tobedus.““

Polnud minu tassike teed. See pole halb, aga need mõtted lihtsalt ei kõnetanud mind. Igaühel ju omad mõtted ja meeldivused/eelistused. Paar lookost mulle siiski meeldis :) Lisan need siia kunagi hiljem :D

3.5 tähte, aga millegipärast päris nelja minu jaoks välja ei venitanud (Goodreadsi tähte siis, mitte segi ajada koolihinnetega!). Raamat meeldis, aga ei tekitanud vaimustust.
Kirjutasin välja päris mitu tsitaati ning mõtlemapanev oli teos kohe kindlasti. Kõik esseed samas südamesse ei läinud, aga eks esseekogumikega tihti nii ongi. Samas lugemine läks kiiresti ja sujuvalt. Keelekasutus on muidugi oivaline ning autor äärmiselt erudeeritud.
Julgen soovitada. Hea lühiformaadis stiilinäide autori tööst.

Üsna kunstikaugele inimesele, nagu mina, olid Mutt'i mõtted värskendavad pilguheited ja vaatenurgad maailma eri tahkudele. Vaatamata sellele, et mõned teemad mind ei "kõnetanud", oli kokkuvõttes meeldiv vaheldus. Tänu lihtsale ülesehitusele (100lk, iga uus leht = uus peatükk) sobis lugemiseks pea igal ajahetkel.

Mees teab, mis mees räägib, kui mees on nendele asjadele varem mõelnud. Meenutav. Aus. Keeleliselt kaunis.

Mihkel Mutt on olnud juba aastaid üks mu lemmikkirjanikest. Mõned kevaded tagasi lugesin "Keerukuju" ning sellest saadud elektrišoki tulemusel lugesin kogu järgneva suve ainult Mutti. "Keerukuju" soovitasin igale sõbrale, kellega meil kirjandus või inimeste vahelised suhted jutuks tulid. Kunagi ütles meie kirjandusõpetaja, et iga altari ette astuv naine peaks enne "Tõe ja õiguse" IV osa läbi lugema. Mina soovitan lisaks Tammsaarele veel kindlasti "Keerukuju" läbi lugeda ja seda mõlemal osapoolel. Mutt on unisex.
Muti mõttemaailm lihtsalt sobib mulle ja selle kinnituseks on ka mõned kuud tagasi ilmunud "Mõtted". Sajal leheküljel mõtiskleb autor kunsti, paradiisi, põrgu, armastuse, usu, Facebooki, Euroopa mineviku ja tuleviku üle. Mina sain näiteks teada, et ma olen küll võilill (lk 10), aga kindlasti ei ole ma amööb (lk 18). Lugege ja mõelge kaasa!
