Es fing wahnsinnig gut an. Ich mochte (und mag noch immer) den Schreibstil sehr gerne.
Leider hielt das "hohe Niveau" nicht so lange an. Es ist ein gutes Buch. Die Idee ist klasse, aber mir fehlte da einfach "das große Ganze". Alle Geschichtenepisoden sind miteinander verknüpft, aber es gibt keine "übergeordnete Handlung", die beginnt und zu etwas hinführt und das hat mir einfach gefehlt.
Bei dem Kapitel, dass der Internetblogger verfasst hat, rollten sich mir die Zehennägel genüsslich bis zum Haaransatz auf. Ganz grauenhaft (was hier paradoxerweise sehr positiv gemeint ist... die Figur ist absolut authentisch). Irgendwann gründe ich einen "Gegen Denglish"- Verein oder sowas. *g*
