I'm an adult, my daughter forced me to read this book (I swear) ;-) In German it's an absolute disaster 'cause of the names that've been ugly weired into a horrible German though ... (EC Valkyrie Caine Valkyrie is balance). That's Why I Decided to prefer the English version and, what shall I say, I have not regret yet! It's easy to read, the beloved ironical humor is great, so all you have to do is just buy it and enjoy !!!
