▪︎درباره کتاب:
سخنان گرانبهای ریک (ع) برای پیروان آن حضرت.
▪︎چیزی که فکر میکردم:
حقیقتا اگه فکر میکردم قبلش جوگیر نمیشدم چاپ کنم!
▪︎چیزی که تجربه کردم:
ببینید خُب یادآوری باحالی بود از سریال ریک و مورتی اما واقعا به فانی انیمیشن نبود.
یعنی همه این جملات تو اون فضاست که جذابه و واقعا جدا از اون حال و هوا یه مشت کلمه توی کاغذ بود و خیلی نمیشد باهاش ارتباط برقرار کرد.
یعنی اینکه اواسطش خسته شدم از خوندنش و صرفا خوندم که تموم شه.
و اینطور نبود که بگم وای چقدر حق گفته یا کلی بخندم، اتفاقا اصن خنده دار نبود... ب_ب
▪︎ چیزی که یاد گرفتم:
۱. جوگیر نباش.
۲. مدرسه جای چرتیه (اینو از قبلم میدونستم اما یاداوری شد)
▪︎به کیا پیشنهاد میکنم:
به کسانی که این سریال رو دوست دارند و مثل من جوگیرن :)))
▪︎سخن آخر از زبان کتاب:
Don't hate the player, hate the game, son.

Collection of quotes from Rick....not as great as I anticipated.
November 28, 2022
“But I’ll tell you how I feel about school. It’s a waste of time. Bunch of people running around, bumping into each other. Guy up front says ’two plus two,’ people in the back say ’four.’ Then the bell rings and they give you a carton of milk and a piece of paper that says you can go take a dump or something. I mean it’s, it’s not a place for smart people.”

Boooooring, so unlike Rick
October 11, 2020
Estupideces o no, Rick es la voz de la razón que sabemos que está presente pero nos cuesta admitir, muchas cosas son una [BIP] y tenemos que aprender a vivir con ellas.
“Cuando sabes que nada importa, el universo es tuyo, y nunca he conocido un universo al que esto le guste. El universo es básicamente un animal que pasta en lo ordinario y crea idiotas infinitos solo para comérselos.”

I totally just finished reading this in the BN Starbucks with no intention of buying it. 🤷🏻♀️ Great humorous read to pass the time. Love the show.

If you like Rick and Morty, don't get this book. It's basically Rick and Morty without the rest of the dialogue in the episodes. I thought it was going to be fake reports on science stuff but it's nothing but Rick Quotes throughout the entire book. If I wanted to hear or read Rick quotes... I'd just browse through the Rick and Morty reddit page to hear millions of "I'm PICKLE RIIIICK!!!" Ugh, save yourself the time (and annoyance) and just watch the show.

Es solamente un compendio de frases de Rick extraídas de la serie con algunos elementos visuales en las páginas con imágenes de los personajes. No era lo que esperaba.

En realidad no es ub libro difícil de leer, sin embargo cuando lees alguna cita llegas a profundizar y a llegar a desarrollar cierta idea. Estimula las ideologías que posees con respecto a diversos temas. Fue bastante entretenido, siendo completamente honesta. Puesto que leí casi todo el libro con la voz de Rick.

Este libro puede ser una buena adquisición para los fans de la serie (yo soy una), pero hay algunos aspectos que no acaban de convencer del todo. Los aspectos buenos son el diseño y el número de páginas, contiene muchas ilustraciones de los personajes, situaciones de la serie y hasta los colores dan una excelente presentación; es corto, por si quieres algo rápido para entretenerte.
Lo que, en lo personal, no me agradó.
1) La contraportada podría presentarte que vienen todos los personajes principales (a modo de diálogo) incluidos en el libro, cuando no es así.
2) El libro sólo se basa en citas que Rick dice durante toda la serie y... Ya está, eso nada más.
3) Con base en el punto anterior, pudieron haberle "sacado más jugo" a la idea de hacer un libro sobre Rick o la serie en sí.
4) Cuando lees el título quizás puedas pensar que van a presentar situaciones de vida cotidiana y Rick respondería, pero no fue el caso, como ya mencioné. Simplemente son frases de Rick categorizadas.
5) No hay cambio de capítulos realmente, debes fijarte en el color de las hojas y en el pie de página.
Hasta aquí mi opinión, realmente soy muy fan de la serie y esperaba un poco más de sazón para este libro.

First of all: Thank you Hachette for giving me this book.
I love Rick & Morty, it's an incredible show, so I really wish that I could have given this book a better rating.
I really enjoyed it for what it is: a book categorizing the sayings of Rick Sanchez. The illustrations were great, expecially the one with the Szechuan Sauce.
The thing that caused me to give this book such a low raiting is the censoring. They censored Rick.
When writters, singers, directors and artists chooses to use swear words, there's a reason. Censorships ruins the core material and turns it into something else. Something less.
So to sum up: Great book, love the artwork but not a big fan of the censoring.
Still glad to receive it from Hachette and for it to be a part of my Rick & Morty collection 🙂

I bought this book for my 13 year old because she loves all things Rick and Morty. I like the show myself, but I feel like this book was lacking. As others have said, it is just a bunch of Rick quotes, which in itself isn’t a bad thing. I think it would have been better received if it included some new Rick commentary or something. But you’re not gaining anything from this book if you’ve watched the show.
That said, my kid has read it twice and loves it. Ymmv. Merch collectors will appreciate it and it would probably make a fun gift.

Esperaba algo más sobre este libro, son meras frases de Rick en la serie
January 12, 2021
En pocas palabras, estuvo divertido leerlo, sobre todo porque la voz de Rick se hacía presente durante la lectura, también rememore los capítulos en los que salía cada frase

Wow, I absolutely enjoyed this book and one thing I don't understand at all is the negative review?!!!
This book contains several deep and meaningful dark quotes about life and honestly people who give low ratings are quite ignorant to be as frank as possible
Seriously guys C'mon , why would you give this remarkable book below 3 stars what's wrong?!
"I say, appreciate the life you have, because it can always be worse. "
"weddings are basically funerals with cake. if I wanted to watch someone throw their life away, I'd hang out with jerry all day."
"You're talking about taking over planets and galaxies. You gotta just remember to let go sometimes, you know?"
"Morty, you're bumming me out. Can't we just pretend like everything's fine for a few hours, enjoy ourselves, and then worry about all this later?"
"It appears the lower tier of society is being manipulated through sex and advanced technology by a hidden ruling class. Sound familiar?"
"Listen Morty, I hate to break it to you, but what people call love'
is just a chemical reaction that compels animals to breed. It hits hard, Morty then it slowly fades, leaving you stranded in a failing marriage. I did it, your parents are gonna do it. Break the cycle, Morty. Focus on science"

Estuvo bueno el libro pero demasiado corto de lo que me imaginé
January 14, 2019
I can understand the low ratings for this book, but in truth, this is strictly for "Rick & Morty" fans, the humorous (and gross) show on Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim" block.
Created as a response to Doc & Marty from the "Back to the Future" franchise, Rick & Morty follows scientist Rick Sanchez who sometimes has a heart but more often than not has a quick put-down or a long speech about metaphysics or space travel.
If you're a fan, this is for you. Until we get the huge coffee table book of art, behind-the-scenes information (which are all on the DVDs by the way), or other gems, this one will do just fine.
A good gift for the fans.

Lamentablemente, este libro no cumplió mis expectativas. Esperaba adentrarme en la profundidad de Rick Sánchez, explorar su pensamiento, emociones y vacío existencial, pero en su lugar encontré frases repetitivas y sin contexto, más cercanas a un producto de merchandising que a un reflejo del personaje. Comprendo que es un libro de Cartoon Network, pero se siente limitado y superficial. Podría haber sido un texto impresionante si realmente hubiera abordado la sabiduría emocional y la complejidad de Rick. En su forma actual, decepciona y se siente más infantil de lo que la serie pretende. No lo recomiendo.
