GORGEOUS.

While this book reads well and fast, with some humorous content, I just couldn't get past all the inconsistencies. Where were the editors!?
The thing I hated the most was probably the wannabe inspirational list towards the end... Inconsistent and quite lame.
It's a book that had a lot of potential, that could have really been great... 

Some funny moments and good passages but overall didn't have anything unique to say. Probably would have enjoyed this more if I had read it in English. Then again, probably wouldn't have bothered to finish it if I wasn't making myself read german books specifically.

I wish Goodreads had half star ratings. This book would be a 4.5.
Seeing humanity through the eyes and mind of a being from elsewhere, and having them articulate their thoughts and feelings about life was thought provoking and moving.


2.5 ⭐️ this book started SO GOOD! The first third was funny, insightful and unlike anything I’ve read before…but around that mark, the plot came to a screeching halt and I just don’t think the pacing ever really recovered. Overall, the book has a lovely message but the delivery just didn’t end up working for me
