Макатрицата
Гордън (или Немо, както го знаят в чатовете) бива събуден по най-груб начин, за да осъзнае реалността. Той изобщо не е координатор на база данни, а роб на Злите Мислещи Машини, които го държат в пашкул от виртуална реалност. Онзи, който го събужда (мъжественият и дребничък Смърфей) смята, че има шанс Немо да се окаже Никаквия, чието его е толкова незначително, че може да се изправи срещу Макатрицата и да я разруши.

Симпатична пародия :)

An excellent piss-take of the 3 Matrix movies with a ton of pop culture references thrown in for good measure.

Тъпа но за сметка на това увлекателна, колкото и странно да звучи. Почти 7/8 от книгата са блудкава пародия на трилогията „Матрицата“, не успях да се засмея нито един път. Последната 1/8 прави отчаян опит да премахне кофти вкуса от предходните бледи опити за пародия, но не успява кой знае колко качествено да се справи с тази задача. Там се зачекват философските и логически въпроси, които възникнаха след края на оригиналната трилогия и които гравитират около дупките в сценария и постройката на света.
Много е далеч като качество от „Своенравното хлапе“, а „Червеноризци“ е направо в друга галактика. За да съм обективен непременно трябва да каже, че определено е по-добра от поредицата за „Бил – галактическия герой“, което не е никак трудно.

Всяка една филмова пародия, която съм гледал, е била неизмеримо тъпа, но някои са поне малко смешни. Чел съм само една книга-пародия на филм (тази) и тя също е неизмеримо тъпа, но опитите за хумор в нея по-скоро ще те накарат да искаш да си избодеш очите с вилица, отколкото да се засмееш.

interesting beginning, boring mid, but the end saves all. Gives you something to think about.

This book is trying to be funny... But it is not... Just read last 12 pages to get the point which is surprisingly accurate...

You don't like the McAtrix? Read it again then, snap out of it, you are better than that!

A humorous snack
There once was a guy named Nemo, at least that was his internet-alias. The bloke lead a quiet and rather ordinary life. That is, until he became aware that he was actually rather notorious in being exceptionally not exceptional. He was so plain and bland that people refused to notice him while walking in the street. This capability of turning invisible became his most unique gift. Regrettably this again made him not so common anymore, which led him to lose his only talent. Ah, it all has something to do with a cat in a box and a guy named Schrödinger not being all that happy about it because he could never tell if he needed to feed the animal or not. But that is a totally different story.
As with many spoofs, you won’t enjoy The McAtrix Derides that much if you haven’t seen the original film. Even so, you should have watched actually the complete trilogy to understand all the jokes. The Robertski Brothers (alias of the author Adam Roberts) follows the three films rather closely, just interpreting the essence a bit differently. This leads to sometimes rather hilarious episodes that can easily be visualized by the reader just because it’s so easy to imagine Keanu Reeves getting stuck in those silly situations. The pace never really drops and keeps the story enjoyably fresh. But do not expect major literature or deep insights. This book is pure entertainment and has no other aspirations.

Only cost me a pound so not too worried if its not up to standard. And will leave a space on my book case for decent reads xx

A little witty story that filled in time. Not bad but then not good, with a few references to the film.

I guess it was ok and others will like it, but it really wasn't the right book for me. I didn't particularly enjoy it.

It´s funny, the kind of book with which you will laugh if you´re not expecting anything deep.

January 12, 2018Нещо, което прочетох без особено усилие, но и без съвсем насочено внимание. Така и не схванах същественото. Може би по-нататък ще „стопля“. :) :(
