This is one of the best books I've ever read!
It's funy, interesting, well written, tense, emotional, sad and so much more.
I can't wait to read more from Walter Moers/Hildegunst von Mythenmetz (I don't know his name in the english version). Hopefully the next books I'll pick up are just as good as this one or maybe even better.
Hildegunst is on a good way to become my favorite author, just like Walter Moers is becoming my favorite Translator. (jokes aside)
I can't put into words what I love so much about this book because there are so many things which are done perfectly!

This book was just plain awesomeness. I have nothing more to say about it. If you love books, you'll love this book as well.

Eins meiner absoluten Lieblingsbücher! Etwas abruptes Finale, aber das verzeihe ich.
