Çok doğru yerlerde türlü türlü sürprizler barındırsa da yazarın aldığı kararları uzun uzun sorguladım. Kitabın sonlarına yaklaşana dek beğenmediğim bir sürü şeyden dolayı homurdanıp durdum. Ama o son bölüm yok mu... Burun kıvırdığım her bir öğeyi ince ince dokuyup takdir ettiğim bir özelliğe çevirmeyi başardı.

Klişelerle dolu bir kitap değil. Gereksiz cinsellik barındırmıyor. Aptal saptal şişirme karakterleri ya da şans eseri dönen kaderleri içermiyor. Çok ince düşünülüp hesaplanmış anlatıdaki öğeler. Şiddetle öneriyorum.

Puan kırma sebebim son noktaya gelene dek kişiliğimin uyuz yönünü rahatsız etmesiydi ama çoğu insan için beş yıldızlı bir roman diyebilirim.

Not: Okumadan önce Alien filmini izlemeniz ya da en azından mevzusu hakkında fikir sahibi olmanız şiddetle önerilir. İkinci filmi de izlerseniz çoooook daha iyi olur ve kitabın sonundaki bağlantılar anlam bulur.

Review of 'Alien: Out of the Shadows (Canonical Alien trilogy, #1)' on 'Goodreads'

An enjoyable read, but suffers the same thing every prequel does. Lack of stakes. The story wasn't aided by Ripley, I would have preferred leaving her out so that I didn't know how it ended.

Story wise, great. kept me interested the entire time.

Review of 'Alien: Out of the Shadows (Canonical Alien trilogy, #1)' on 'Goodreads'

It's the expectable pulpy, clichéd stuff with characters explaining their backgrounds and motivations randomly, but if you know what to expect it's a fun ride and the voice actors do a good job.

Review of 'Alien: Out of the Shadows (Canonical Alien trilogy, #1)' on 'Goodreads'

I got this as a freebie from Audible in Jan 2017. This book bridges the gap between the first two Alien movies: #Alien and Aliens.

With a full cast production, I liked the additional special effects which greatly enhanced my enjoyment of this #audiobook during my daily commute. #100booksin2017
