alisarae's review against another edition
O livro começou num jeito bom e com muito potencial pra desenvolver os conceitos... Mas virou 180 e no último capìtulo o autor confessa que ele não sabe pra onde ir. Embora que eu gostasse muito do humor satírico e dos atitudes caricaturais dos países, fiquei um pouco decepcionada com o final.

It was a book that I was torn between very mixed thoughts. I couldn't read it easily. The fact that the flow of time was very slow at the beginning and then very fast caused me to lose track of the story a little. I can't say whether I liked it or not. I just really liked the author's conversation with himself at the very end of the book. Why? Because I've been experiencing similar questions in my inner world for as long as I can remember. I would like to end with a short quote; "If the issue was only about salamanders versus humans, maybe something could be done; but humans versus humans... You can't prevent that."

This book... I think I may have gotten a contact high from whatever Čapek was on when he wrote this. Viva la RevoNEWTion!

I read a terrible version of this that had a bunch of editing errors and no page numbers, but this book is insane and wonderful and horrifying all at the same time.

The author is good in political satire and parody, sometimes with witt and humour, but generally very boring book.

Satira mnohých spoločenských neduhov par excellence. Kritika neprezieravého zásobovania mlokov výbušninami preto, že z toho majú dobrý business a neskôr aby mali s nimi dobré vzťahy - veľmi aktuálne a hrozivo presné aj v tento vojnový rok

A hauntingly accurate jibe at mankind's shortsightedness, wrapped in humour, and an excellently told science fiction story.
