Noisy Outlaws, Unfriendly Blobs, and Some Other Things . . .: That Arent as Scary, Maybe, Depending on How You Feel About Lost Lands, Stray ... Quite Finish, So Maybe You Could Help Us Out Reviews

  Here's an amusing collection of imaginative shorts aimed at the younger set, a younger set that possesses a dry, sardonic sense of humor, anyway.
  
  I enjoyed these stories while I was reading them, and then...promptly forgot almost all of them.*
  
  There are some familiar names here, (also known as BIG NAME-BRAND authors) -
  Nick Hornby,
  Jonathan Safran Foer, and
  Neil Gaiman - but the tales in this book are obviously not anyone's BEST work.
  
  
  *Two notable exceptions - Lars Farf, Excessively Fearful Father and Husband by
  George Saunders concerns a man who goes to extremes to keep his family safe, and Grimble by
  Clement Freud, about a boy, uncertain of just how old he is because his parents won't tell him, who is left to fend for himself while his odd parents visit Peru.

  İçindeki yazar zenginliği, temelde beğenmediğimde bile görünen o tuhaf, kendine has, zengin içerikli kurgular. Beklentimin üstünde çıktı. Gaiman, Hornby, Saunders'ın olduğu bir kitaptan başka ne beklenir ki? Çizimlere ayrı sayfa açmak lazım; yazın ve çizim, ikisi bir araya gelince ve hakkı da verilince ortaya güzel bir eser çıkmış.

  A collection of short stories from the likes of Neil Gaiman, Nick Hornby, George Saunders, Jonathan Safran Foer and a bunch of people I didn't know. All the stories are quirky and weird, and all the stories are just okay. The one by Gaiman was less than okay, it was really annoying. I already forgot what most of the stories were about because they left that little of an impression.
  
  The best part was the introduction by Lemony Snicket and the wonderful illustrations throughout the book.

  Bu gece bir delilik edip cok uzun zamandir yapamadigim bir sey yaptim: KITAP OKUDUM! Ve yaklasik 369 yil once basladigim #SamataciSuclularveDahaFazlasi bitti. 11 kurgu ustasinin tuhaf kurgu turunde yazdigi 11 oykuden olusan kitapta sanirim tek sevmedigim oyku Grimble oldu. Geri kalanlari ayri ayri sevdim. KADA Telefonu ise yuregimi cok sizlatti. Ote yandan Goodreads yorumlarinda milletin Neil Gaiman'in yazdigi hikayeyi vasat buldugunu, kimilerinin ise hic begenmedigini okudum. Oysa cok guzeldi. Belki de en sevdigim, en merak ederek okudugum oydu. Gerci o adam yemek tarifi de, kullanma kilavuzu da yazsa ayni memnuniyetle okurum. Bu baglamda objektif fikir belirtemiyor olabilirim:)
  
  Kitaptaki cizimler, kitabin baski kalitesi, kagit kalitesi, cevirisi vs her seyi muhtesem. Hala baskisi var midir bilmiyorum ama absurt hikayeler okumayi sevenlerin Samataci Suclular'i oradan veyahut buradan bulmayi denemelerini tavsiye ederim. Herkese simdiden iyi okumalar:)

  Un volumaş ok, per total.
  
  Dar să intrăm în amănunte şi să categorisim un pic povestirile:
  
  5* - niciuna. Povestirea Amazing lipseşte momentan, vă rugăm lăsaţi un mesaj după semnalul sonor. [beeeeeeeep]
  4* - categoria "Nice, funny, aproape cool": George Saunders - "Lars Farf, un tată şi un soţ tare fricos", Jeanne DuPrau - "Telefonul de la ACSU"
  3* - categoria "Parcă ar fi ceva de capul ei": Nick Hornby - "O ţară mică", Clement Freud - "Grimble", Neil Gaiman - "Pasărea soarelui"
  2* - categoria "Îhîm, cum spui tu, whatever...": Richard Kennedy - "Întrecerile din Cowlick", Sam Swope - "Ultima dorinţă a lui Seymour", Johnathan Safran Foer - "Al şaselea district"
  1* - categoria "N-O spells NO!": Kelly Link - "Monstrul"
  0* - categoria "WTF???": Jon Scieszka - "Fiecare e vândută la bucată"
  
  Şi v-am spus povestea-aşa...

  This is a beautiful publication in just about every way, with some wonderful stories with impressive flights of imagination, a great deal of humanity and some laugh out loud humour.
  
  As an artefact the book is attractive: my hardback edition is printed on quiet heavy paper so it’s lovely to turn the pages. We can marvel at some splendid illustrations by various artists, diverse in style, most of which are interesting and more than several outstanding; for example David Heatley, for Nick Hornby’s Small Country and Peter de Seve for Neil Gaiman’s Sunbird. Marcel Dzama’s work admirably complements Clement Freud’s Grimble, and Juliette Borda creates a striking single work for George Saunders Lars Farf, Excessively Fearful Father and Husband. Farf’s daughter hugs her dad and we see all the stuff caught in his big beard. One instance where the illustrations don’t hit the mark is Shelley Dick for Kelly Link’s Monster, but I did not like the oppressive story about a misfit boy having a sad time at camp who ends up having a long conversation with a monster.
  
  The following contains spoilers.
  
  The best story for me is Neil Gaiman's Sunbird, sardonically setting out the scandalously appetising activities of the Epicurean Club, whose graphically colourful members delight in eating every species known to humanity. They lament that they have gobbled almost everything available (except all the insects, which are a special case) and so under the leadership of Augustus TwoFeathers McCoy, venture to Cairo to lure, capture and eat the magnificent Sunbird, which gives them all a new lease of life.
  
  The creative talent is largely American with some Brits thrown in, including Nick Hornby, whose story Small Country opens the collection. Stefan lives in a postage stamp country the size of a field where the soccer team needs all able bodied men and boys to make up the numbers. When Stefan’s dad breaks his leg, Stefan is obliged to play, (not least of all because his mother, the President, insists), but he proves hopeless and unhappy. But Stefan has other skills, he can see what’s going wrong strategically for the team in their international fixtures (against other small nations like San Marino) and his talents are soon put to better use.
  
  The most satisfying tale comes from George Saunders Lars Farf, Excessively Fearful Father and Husband featuring a father who goes to extraordinary lengths to protect his family from all hazards and dangers, employing a vast variety of protective systems and devices and a panoply of experts to help, thus destroying family life. He discovers the more you protect the ones you love the less you feel.
  
  The collection rounds off with two New York stories about a special phone for dog work, The ACES Phone, and a mystical tale, The Sixth Borough, appropriately because this is a McSweeny’s publication supporting writing centres for children.

  More like 2.5 actually. A collection of short stories by various authors. Some of them were amusing, some of them...not. The illustrations were quite fun, the same goes for the introduction.
  If I am to pick a favorite story, it would be
  Grimble by
  Clement Freud. Grimble, who is about ten, has very odd parents, "odd" being an understatement:
  
  One monday, Grimble came back from school, opened the door, and shouted, "I am home". No one shouted anything in answer. So he went round the house looking for messages because his parents always left messages. It was the one thing they were really good at.
  On the table in the sitting room there was a globe. And stuck into the globe were two pins, each with a triangle of paper on it. One of these was stuck into England and said GRIMBLE, and the other was stuck into Peru and said US. He went into the kitchen and there was another note: TEA IS IN THE FRIDGE, SANDWICHES IN THE OWEN. HAVE A GOOD TIME.
  In the bedroom was a note saying YOU WILL DO YOUR HOMEWORK, WON'T YOU? P.S. DON'T FORGET TO SAY YOUR PRAYERS.
  In the bathroom, a message: TEETH.
  He walked around the house thinking they'd really been very good, and then he went to the back door and saw a note: MILKMAN. NO MILK FOR FIVE DAYS.
  He changed the note to NOT MUCH milk for five days, and sat down in the kitchen and started to think about things.
  
  I also enjoyed "Small Country" by
  Nick Hornby, which is about a ridiculously small country ( you don't say...)
  P.S. I had already read "The Sunbird" in
  Fragile Things by
  Neil Gaiman.

  A capa brasileira é bem legal, daquelas que te faz tirar o livro da prateleira pra olhar. Mas agora estou aqui agradecendo a todas as entidades do universo por ter comprado baratinho na promoção, porque achei quase todos os contos do livro muito fracos. Ok que eu precisei chegar no segundo conto pra resolver folhear o negócio inteiro e perceber que era um livro infanto-juvenil, mas mesmo assim ele ainda é bem ruinzinho.
  
  Os contos que não são ruins também não chegam a ser bons, só passáveis. Vou falar um pouco sobre cada um deles:
  
  Introdução e jaqueta, por Lemony Snicket - Na jaqueta do livro (aquelas capas removíveis) tem um conto iniciado pelo Lemony Snicket, autor das adoráveis Desventuras em Série. A proposta é que você termine o conto e envie pra editora, só que não: o começo é tão nhé que ninguém mais de 11 anos vai querer continuar aquilo. É dele também a introdução do livro, que tem um conceito até legal, mas só me fez dar uma risadinha. Aliás, tudo que li do Snicket pós-Desventuras, achei ruinzão.
  
  Pequeno país, por Nick Hornby - Um país minúsculo do tamanho de uma vila e um time de futebol que perde um jogador e precisa da ajuda do garoto nerd que nunca jogou, mas terá ideias geniais durante a partidaZZZzzzZZZZzzZZZZ.
  
  Lars Farf, pai e marido excessivamente temeroso, por George Saunders - Os primeiros contos foram tão ruins que eu quase achei esse bom pro padrão do livro. Mas toda uma vibe mela-cueca de moralzinha da história que, olha, não.
  
  Monstro, por Kelly Link - Chatíssimo no começo, mas fica até engraçadinho quando o tal monstro aparece. Foi um dos que achei decentes. As ilustrações desse são boas.
  
  As competições de Cowlick, por Richard Kennedy - É de velho-oeste e foi escrito exatamente com a estrutura de um episódio de Pica-Pau. Blé.
  
  Vendidos Separadamente, por Jon Scieszka - Um conto escrito apenas com slogans publicitários. Se eu dissesse aqui que é ruim, seria até pleonasmo.
  
  O terceiro desejo de Seymour, por Sam Swope - Um garotinho com um grande coração e um cérebro pequeno encontra um duende e tem direito a três desejos. Seria outro conto horroroso se não fosse o final MUITO CREEPY que faz com que ele fique ligeiramente interessante e meio Kafka vibes.
  
  Grimble, por Clement Freud - Esse conto é engraçado e fica o tempo inteiro com a promessa de que vai melhorar e ficar realmente bom, mas SPOILER: não rola. Mas as ilustrações são bem legais. Uma coisa engraçada: o autor é neto do Freud. Sim, AQUELE Freud. E irmão como Lucian Freud, o pintor.
  
  Spoony-e & Spandy-3 contra as hordas roxas, por James Kochalka - É uma HQ. Seu priminho de quatro anos vai achar sensacional, você vai querer morrer de tão lixo. Recorte essas páginas e dê pro seu priminho ler e colorir.
  
  Pássaro-do-Sol, por Neil Gaiman - Eu já tinha lido esse conto; ele é até legalzinho e também está no Coisas Frágeis. A tradução do Coisas Frágeis (da Conrad) é bem melhor. Sim, fui cotejar, sou dessas.
  
  O telefone da ACSE, por Jeanne DuPrau - O começo promete bastante, mas aí FUÉN. Se você curte cachorros e todo esse papo de defesa dos animais etc., é até capaz de você gostar.
  
  O Sexto Distrito, por Jonathan Safran Froer - É um dos contos menos ruins, mas é cheio de nhem nhem nhem e moralzinha de contos de fadas e mais nhem nhem nhem.
  
  No final do livro tem umas tais "palavras cruzadas extremamente difíceis" que obviamente não são extremamente difíceis. Algumas ilustrações são bem bonitas, mas isso não é motivo pra comprar, né? Depois descobri que o livro original é da McSweeney's que faz umas coisas muito sensacionais, mas que de vez em quando entra nuns buracões com esse lance de experimentalismo. Esse livro aqui é um desses buracões, não recomendo.

  Am citit cărțulia groasă de 200 de pagini pe drumul dus-întors-servici-acasă.
  
  Și m-am distrat de numa’ alături de povestirile trăznite pe care autorii le-au creeat pentru deliciul cititorilor.
  
  Cu o introducere spectaculoasă din partea invitatului special: Lemony Snicket.
  
  Mi-au plăcut toate povestirile, cu o singură excepție. Nu am reușit să mă prind de șchepsisul povestirii lui Jon Scieszka – Fiecare e vândută la bucată. Poate că mă lămurește și pe mine careva…
  
  În rest le-am prins și le-am gustat pe toate.
  
  Nick Hornby povestește despre primul meci pe care Stefan îl joacă la naționala de fotbal a Champinei împotriva San Marino-ului. Dacă nu ai auzit de Champina înseamnă că nu te-ai uitat cu atenție până acum pe harta Europei și, spre norocul tău, ar trebui să citești această scurtă povestire pentru a afla câte ceva despre Champina.
  
  Lars Farf, un tată și un soț tare fricos este povestirea lui George Saunders și ne povestește despre cum un cap de familie și-a pierdut capul datorită relației sensibile dintre Iubire și frică.
  
  Kelly Link în a sa proză Monstrul ne sperie și amuză cu o conversație între un monstru și un băiat îmbrăcat într-o rochie, plin de noroi.
  
  Întrecerile din Cowlick de Richard Kennedy spune o scurtă povestioară despre atacul unor bandiți asupra orășelului Cowlick.
  
  Ultima dorință a lui Seymour de Sam Swope ne spune povestea unui băiețel a cărei mamă este căpcăun și care, înainte de a-l iubi mai mult decât pe pisicile ei, trebuie să prindă un spiriduș și să devină un Tyranosaurus Rex.
  
  Grimble a lui Clement Freud povestește o săptămână din viața unui băiețel care trebuie să se descurce cu bilețelele lăsate în urmă de părinții plecați în Cuba.
  
  Neil Gaiman în Pasărea Soarelui redă aventurile unui club de epicureici care pleacă la Cairo hotărâți să mănânce Pasărea Soarelui după ce au decis că au mâncat tot ce se putea.
  
  Jeanne DuPrau în Telefonul de la Acsu ne povestește despre un telefon special la care vorbesc câinii.
  
  Jonathan Safran Foer în Al Șaselea District spune legenda celui de-al șaselea, presupus inexistent, district al New York-ului.
  
  Volumașul este plăcut, povestirile hazlii. O recomand drept o lectură agreabilă de weekend.
  
  Citat favorit: „Atunci Farf a descoperit Corolarul Farf, care, deși mai puțin elegant decât Ipoteza Farf, era la fel de adevărat ca cel din urmă: dacă duci o viață fără Iubire, te trezești cu porcării în Barbă.”

  Pentru mine, 3 steluțe e destul de puțin, așa că probabil vă puteți da seama că antologia asta de povestiri fantastice nu m-a dat pe spate. Neil Gaiman m-a cam dezamăgit cu a sa „Pasărea Soarelui”, însă Kelly Link și Clement Freud m-au ținut în suspans cu ale lor „Monstrul” și „Grimble”. Cel puțin „Grimble” mi s-a părut scrisă la mai multe niveluri, pentru a fi înțeleasă de fiecare cum dorește. Restul au fost așa și așa. A fost o lectură rapidă, ușurică și entertaining.

  Out of 11 stories, only 5 of them worth the 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (5 stars) award. Some of the stories are not as attractive or as immersive as the others, some felt so-so, and Gaiman's work here seemed pilit, like [I just want my name to be included in this anthology, yea?]
  
  So there. Yay, I hope I can join the TFG's book discussion this June 30.

  There is one story in this book that I particularly liked. ‘Sunbird’ by Neil Gaiman. I read it a few years ago in a different collection and was delighted to remember and re-read it.
  ‘Monster’ by Kelly Link was my favourite of the ones I hadn’t read before.

  Who would have guessed the title of a book might as well make up its whole review?

  I loved Monster by Kelly Link and Lars Farf by George Saunders, but everything else was either ok or unmemorable. Grimble was kind of cute, but Monster really did me in.

  Eu comprei este livro porque estava em promoção na Amazon, era da Cosac Naify e tinha um conto do Neil Gaiman (que eu já havia lido em Fragile Things e em Unnatural Creatures, se não me falha a memória).
  
  É uma coletânea de histórias criativas e algumas brincadeiras. Uma criança ou pré-adolescente deve achar este livro incrível. Mas acho que estou longe demais desta fase para realmente me importar.
  
  Eu sei que soa clichê, mas o problema não é o livro, sou eu. A qualidade de impressão e edição é ótima. As ilustrações são razoáveis. Tanto que devo dar este livro para alguém que goste de ler e esteja nesta faixa etária. Provavelmente a pessoa vai me agradecer pra sempre.

  Sometimes a collection of short stories is all over the place: fantasy butting up against realistic fiction rubbing elbows with mysteries. This collection is not one of those times. Sure, some of the stories are more fantastic than others, and some have more realistic elements, but the tone is remarkably consistent across writers and even generations. Including stories from such big names in fantastic fiction as Kelly Link and Neil Gaiman and realistic authors like Nick Hornby and Jonathan Safran Foer, in addition to being a McSweeny's project, Noisy Outlaws delivers on its promise of being an enjoyably demented collection.
  
  Despite the title, there's very little in here that would be considered scary at all, with the possible exception of a monster at a summer camp (and it's probably the camp aspects that are more frightening here!). Not all the stories will delight middle-schoolers--some of the adult authors have trouble bringing their writing style to an eighth-grade level, but the content even of these few outliers will still appeal to bright middle-school teens.
  
  I'm not crazy about the paperback cover, but I like that Lemony Snicket's unfinished story is now included in the text block, instead of inside the dust jacket--that takes the headache out of processing for library circulation. Not really sure how this will circulate anyway, as short-story collections usually don't do very well, but it's a fun collection and I can think of a couple of kids who would appreciate it. I've been meaning to pick up this collection for a while (the contributor list reads like a Who's Who of my personal bookshelves) and I was pretty impressed with it. A quick read (made quicker in that I'd already read a couple of the included stories in other collections) with a couple of gems amidst the Pretty Good.

  i wanted this to be better than it was, probably just because the intro was penned by daniel handler/lemony snicket. i should know by now that anything edited by the "mcsweeney's" peeps is going to be really good in theory & not measure up in practice. so what this is: a collection of short stories by various acclaimed fiction writers (of the "mcsweeney's" ilk--dave eggers & people like that) that i believe were written for younger readers (like maybe junior high-aged). or maybe they are stories that adults & eleven-year-olds could both be into in slightly different ways? all i know for sure is that the book was shelved in the kids' section (which i frequent) but i have seen some of these stories being passed off as regular everyday short adult fiction in other contexts. also, all of the stories are kind of weird & fantastical somehow--they all have a strange sci-fi/fantasy element to them. man, those "mcsweeney's" editors love their genre fiction. had i known it was the next big thing in millenial fiction, i would have paid more attention when i worked in the gold room at powell's. this fantastical story element is probably the reason behind my somewhat low ranking, though. i have such a hard time getting into that kind of thing. it just doesn't stick in my head like realist fiction does. but i have rated many other books here a three that are actually worse than this book, so...take it with a grain of salt.

  I like McSweeneys. I like the 826 centers and take undeserved pride in their Mission origins. Their goal of inspiring young people by connecting them with good, dedicated writers chokes me up a little bit when I think about it. I liked this collection of hip little stories and artwork too - for the most part. Sometimes though, these stories felt a little too hip, a little heavy on the image and light on the substance if that makes any sense. They were all sooo ironic, sooo unconventional that it started to feel redundant even though it's a collection of works by different authors and artists. Really this would be my general gripe with all things McSweeneys. Come to think of it, I think I had similar feelings while reading A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius - sometimes I wanted to marry Dave Eggers he was just so cool and so smart - and sometimes I wished he would just get over himself already!

  What an awesome title. That is why I picked up this book. Inside I found a selection of short stories and illustrations that were fun and funny. My favorites were Lars Farf, Excessively Fearful Father and Husband, by George Saunders; Seymour's Last Wish, by Sam Swope; and Monster, by Kelly Link (even though that one kind of left me with a feeling of Huh?). My favorite illustrations were from The Sixth Borough, illustrated by Barry Blitt; and Sunbird, illustrated by Peter de Seve (though I did not care for the story by Neil Gaiman).
  
  I found the conversations in Monster to be very realistic. Seymour's Last Wish was whimsical and sweet and melancholy. The stories all had different character and style, which I enjoyed, and they were all a bit off center. The reading went fast and chapter/story size was good. Definitely a recommended book.

  Coletânea de autores interessantes, atuais, famosos ou nem tanto, de sucesso entre o público jovem, todos ilustrados. E inclui até uma história em quadrinhos. Tem mistérios, aventuras e contos tradicionais. É um formato típico do interesse de jovens, mas várias das histórias têm qualidade literária indiscutível e são atraentes. Sem falar nos aspectos de jogo e diversão que estão lá também. E a edição é ótima!
  
  A collection of interesting authors, famous or not that much, that are successful among young readers. Even includes one story in comics format. Misteries, adventures and conventional short stories. The style is overall of young readers interest, but several of the stories are of unquestiionable literary quallity and attractive. Not to to speak of the game side also present. The Brazilian Portuguese edition by Editora Cosac Naify is excellent!

  uma coleção de histórias (e personagens) deliciosas para leitores jovens e não tão jovens. gostei particularmente das histórias de clement freud, gaiman (que confesso já ter minha simpatia de antemão, mas que, mesmo para os desconhecidos, desfila uma assembleia de personagens divertidíssimos) e jeanne duprau. a história mais interessante, entretanto, é do queridíssimo jonathan safran foer, que conta uma anedota imaginária de nova iorque para crianças com a mesma maestria de quem conta uma história tristíssima do holocausto. as ilustrações e a capa interativa de lemony snicket são um charme à parte.

  William Young

  A collection of short stories put together for some noble purpose - supporting a writing/reading school/project in NYC, I believe. If it's a good cause and you like to support good causes, by the book. Read the short story by Neil Gaiman and then put the book on your shelf, content you've done some good for somebody. But, don't read the other short stories. Waste of time, even the one by Hornby, who apparently typed his story out over coffee one morning. I speed-read/skip-read the other stories, so uninteresting were they.

  Famin

  I'm surprised by how much I'm loving this anthology of short stories written for middle readers. The introduction is by Lemony Snicket, and some of the stories are by Nick Hornby, Jon Scieszka, Neil Gaiman, and others. Plus, inside the book jacket is a half-finished story that the readers are encouraged to finish and mail in for a contest! Proceeds go to charity--or did. Stories are very well written, yet engaging and true for the average 11-year-old boy.

  Adam Hodgins

  The introduction is the best part, I really liked the story "Monster". Besides that there were a couple that were ok and the rest kind of got on my nerves. I think it's that whole McSweeney’s quirkiness thing, it’s supposed to be “out there” or whatever but I just I find it contrived.. I rolled my eyes a lot while reading this.

  Cathie

  Cute book full of short stories that will sometimes have you laughing out loud. Neil Gaiman has a story in here, but oddly, it was not one of my favourites.
  
  There are some great lines found throughout the stories and some very strange tales.
  
  I will write more later.

  Ai, que decepção.
  Mas acho que a culpa das duas estrelas é minha, to há uns dois anos pra ler esse livro e acabei criando expectativas exageradas.
