I bought the book for the second time. The first book I bought for 2 euros as Maengelexemplar at the station kiosk, and it had become unsightly after several years Reiselektuere. Since gechrieben in English, were still my handwritten notes added. For a German is not easy to understand as a creative text. However, it is written so amusing that one has quite fun out how he is what meant. A simple Dictionary helps only little, but thanks to the Internet I could most hints and Jay's Wortschoepfungen decryption. Thinking along absolutely necessary, so just read and immerse themselves in his world is for non-native speakers hardly possible. But pause and continue at the next train or other opportunity again, is quite reasonable in this rather witty, but less exciting narrative.
I have read all his books, this is for me the scoop. The others are also amusing, but this hardly comparable.
