DID NOT FINISH: 32%

An sich ist es lustig und ich denke es ist auch ein gutes Buch, aber es passt für mich einfach nicht. Der Erzählstil ist nicht so meins und es ist verwirrend und irgendwie langsam.

The best piece of fiction I've read for a while- although as an American I would have needed a friend from the UK to explain the jokes to me. As Gaiman and Pratchett observed, this book has got to be one of the most-repaired books in the world. My copy, in fact, was soaked in a pot of coffee, trapped out with its owner in a rainstorm, and duct-taped back together all in one day.

Charming and fun characters, made me laugh, didn't want to put it down. This is the kind of writing that makes me want to continue to read, write, and create.

Okay I’m just not a fan of the author voice going on here. It feels very tangential in a chaotic way rather than natural but edited. I’m good. I should really stop trying to finish this story to be honest.
