Ummehtunut haju lehahti Riston huoneesta. Pöydällä, lattialla ja sängyllä oli tyhjiä mehu- ja maitotölkkejä ja …
Kirja valisti eskarilaista hauskalla tavalla tietokonepelaamisen riskeistä olematta turhan alleviivaava. Taattua Risto Räppääjä -materiaalia. Ei ehkä kestänyt enää niin hyvin toista lukemista itselle, eskarilainen kuuntelee sujuvasti samoja juttuja kerta toisensa perään.
Iltalukemisena luettu eskarilaiselle. Kirjassa kuvataan ihmisten maailmaa hauskasti ja oivaltavasti ulkopuolisen silmin ja eskarilainen tykkäsi arvuutella mistä on kyse. Myös Helsinkiä on kuvattu tavalla, joka herätti muistoja siellä joskus hetken asuneelle. Jokin suuri juoni jäi ehkä vähän puuttumaan, että olisi sen viidennen tähden ansainnut. Tämä ensimmäinen osa toimi hyvin hahmojen ja paikkojen taustoittajana ja lopussa lupasi lisää. Jatko-osia odotamme mielenkiinnolla.
Too many names for my puny brain to follow but that follows from the subject, but I love listening to Stephen Fry's voice.

Been a fan of Ross Edgley for a long time and followed his swim around Britain on social media when it was happening. As an adventure it was inspiring and I liked how it was tied in the book to his stoic sport science philosophy along with the fact that he read the book himself, but in the end I felt that something - I cannot put my finger on what - was left just a tiny bit lacking from a five star book.

'MythBusters' Adam Savage - Discovery Channel star and one of the most beloved figures in …
Being a long time Mythbusters-fan I forgot all about my other plans on what I will read/listen next when this came on Audible. The book was very well written and structured and Adam Savage read his own text in a perfect way. I guess it is easy to read words that are your own. It had high entertainment value as well as a lot of information, but I wouldn't buy this as a manual on how to make anything. It's more a question of certain philosophy towards making, selection of tools and materials and how to be effective and finish things. While I don't really like self improvement books and wouldn't call this such, it gave me some ideas and I could extrapolate the lessons to outside of the original realm of physically making things and my guess is that some of the ideas might even work. I would say …

I would say that there are many dimensions in this book (not even sure if all of the ones I found are intentional) and it's also an easy read and highly entertaining even without looking for profound messages.
