Tieto-osuus kiinnostava ja lähteet annettu. Forsiuksen kirjaa vain ei tunnu löytyvän mistään.

Dum aloota väitetään rasvapommiksi, vaikka perunoita ei todellakaan kuulu uppopaistaa ja voin sijaan voi hyvin käyttää öljyä, eikä perusjugurttikaan ole kovin rasvaista. Sen sijaan muissa resepteissä käytetään valtavia määriä voita, juustoa, kermaa jne. eikä silti haukuta rasvapommeiksi.

Don't read interviews of the author, it will ruin these books for you.

Too much introspection, not enough about Antarctica and the people there. I don't care that the author gave up alcohol or suffers from depression back in the UK.

It's very small and thin but the only one available, and the game is also short. I still have to wonder if they didn't have more concept art to share than this.

Too little text and the translation is not particularly good, and some photos are thrown in at random, breaking the narrative flow. The photos are gorgeous though too small. I feel like this book does a disservice to the photographer's talent and photography.

Simply amazing. You can see the details of the paintings very well. Prepare to be in awe of his ability to observe the world around him and recreate it very realistically (or surrealistically, with the robots and dinosaurs), not just how different surfaces look matte, shiny, bright, slippery, round or sharp, but also the impressionistic quality of human vision in the peripheries and at distance. He is a very good scenery painter, and his imagination is just amazing.

I was also surprised by how good the narrative is; I wish there were more artists combining storytelling with their art. The English version reads a bit too much like a translation at times, but I actually like how the Swedishness seeps through.

The books are not as well written as the series, but if you felt hungry for closure after the finale, I recommend reading all three. I did expect something grander regarding the “biblically bad” issue, but at least I did not have to imagine it myself. Max feels a bit colder in the books too, but overall the characters feel exactly the same as in the series.

Especially the art is amazing. The story is original and the script well written.

Viihdyttäviä, hauskoja huomioita ja syvällistäkin pohdintaa vähän kaikesta, mikä voi nörttiä kiinnostaa. Ei välttämättä sovellu julkisille paikoille, saattaa aiheuttaa itsekseen hihittelyä.
