Knut Nærum

I've a little bit a double feeling about this book. The idea and the first half of the book are great. During a speed skating tournament a Dutch skater falls, due to a falling Norwegian skater. Otherwise he would have won (and yes, skating is that important in both countries). Discussion about using drugs start between the countries, the situation worsens and the propaganda (Dutch morality seems to suck) is made. No other option than that it will end in a war....

The second half of the book show more is not that good. A lot of people, what makes it hard to follow everybody, special agencies that are in actuallity the reason for the war, by pointing fingers at different groups.

The idea is good and shows how easy war can start. But some things are highly exagerated, unfortunately.

Ei koseleg julehistorie der Donald og hyperkapable frøken Vable (!) reiser gjennom Skrues liv (representert via kjente augneblinkar frå Barks-historiar og Don Rosas "Liv og Levnet") for å unngå at dei største skattane han har bygd karrieren sin på blir tekne framfor nasa på han av ein annan tidsreisande med vondt i sinne.

Artig dialog og spenstig bruk av etablerte karakterforhold og Duck-kontinuitet kan ein nesten vente seg av Løkling/Nærum/Midthun-teamet no. I tillegg er det show more uvanleg mange små sarte augneblink i "Tidsreisetyven", særleg for Skrue sjølv, og det gir verkeleg historia ei fin og sentimental julekjensle som eg sette pris på. show less
