Review of 'Guía del autoestopista galáctico' on 'Goodreads'

No soy aficionado a las novelas de ciencia-ficción ni tampoco a las de humor especialmente, pero sentía curiosidad por este título desde hacía tiempo por su aura pop de culto y tenía ganas de comprobar cómo mezclaba ambos géneros.

En términos generales logra ser ágil y entretenido, aunque más al inicio y al final y menos por en medio, cuando se ocupa de ampliar los horizontes del universo narrativo (literalmente, recordemos que va de viajeros espaciales). Algo de esperar, en tanto que Douglas Adams era quizá guionista antes que literato y... ya se sabe lo que pasa con la sacrosanta norma de que el principio y el final enganchen y sorprendan.

Me gusta su manera muy personal y arriesgada de usar los deus ex machina (algo ajeno a la historia que aparece de repente y resuelve los problemas, ejemplo desde Aristóteles de lo que no hay que hacer) para insinuar …

Un must read

È il libro che consiglio di leggere a tutti, posso dire che ha rappresentato per me una parte importante della mia vita. Lo rileggo spesso e non faccio a meno di divertirmi ogni volta.

Review of "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy : Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Book 1" on 'Goodreads'

42 years later and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is still as absurdly funny, insanely perceptive and shockingly relevant as ever.

I still love the babel fish!

Review of "The hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy" on 'Goodreads'

Most of the fun stems from its unpredictability. There are also some hilarious quotes in here. But, besides its gags, it doesn't have a lot to offer. The only theme to it is that (human) life is largely insignificant. But it's only explored superficially. Especially when rereading, the book can become somewhat of a bore.

Review of 'Guida galattica per gli autostoppisti' on 'Goodreads'

Beh è spassoso e divertente! Il sarcasmo è pungente ma, ahimè, la storia è citata così tanto rovinare un po' la lettura. Comunque sagace!
