What a surprise! This book was excellent, with the hero Viskovitz and his lovely girl, his ugly fallback girl, and his inept "friends" appearing and reappearing in different situations in each chapter... as different animals. Viskovitz and company inhabit the lives of mice, snails, sponges, dogs, parrots, sharks, and even amoebas in these well-written mini-chapters that never fail to amuse. It's also easily readable in one sitting.

Cute, fast read. Not as funny as I'd hoped for, but I did particularly enjoy his stints as a scorpion and a sponge.

Ein Buch, an das ich mich auch nach Jahren immer wieder erinnere. Einfach unglaublich lustig, mit den verrücktesten Ideen. Am besten entsinne ich mich an eine der späteren Geschichten, in dem der Protagonist ein Schwamm ist. Ich musste praktisch nach jedem Satz pausieren, weil ich erst mal Luft holen musste. Die Familienverhältnisse unter Schwämmen sind wirklich sehr... kompliziert.
Uneingeschränkt empfehlenswert, aber nicht ganz jugendfrei.
