Тем интереснее история, чем яснее связь между её началом и концом. Не у всех получается замыкать произведения, как то порою получалось у Сергея Лукьяненко. В юные годы он ещё был полон задора и ещё не начал задаваться вопросами бытия, что случится едва ли не сразу, стоило перестать работать над циклом “Остров Русь”. Проживая в Казахстане, он находил возможность для высказывания обыденных фантазий, находя их отражение через детское восприятие подростков. И как знать, к чему Сергей мог придти, не окажись с ним рядом Юлий Буркин, предложивший написать историю о детях, отправляющихся на машине времени в путешествие, откуда вернутся полными впечатлений.

What a delightful surprise this was. I had no idea going in that it was written for the YA crowd - I saw the cover and the author and said, "Why hello there, little Russian science fiction book! Let's get acquainted!" The book was a fun read - lots of snark, plenty of adventure, idiotic humor, a play on words every ten pages or so, and an ending I should have seen coming, but didn't. Ква-ква!

Lukyanenko should write more kids books. Although I am not so sure if this one is a kids book considering that while the protagonists are kids and the stuff that is happening is super convenient and very PG, I do not know how well all those soviet movie references come off.
A good light read with all the convenient tie offs that give that warm satisfied feeling. Perfect for when your brain is too fried for anything complex, but you have formed a firm habit of reading daily.
