Ik vond het een weinig pakkend boek. Misschien kwam het door de schrijfstijl, maar ook de inhoud was niet altijd even interessant. Halverwege het boek had ik het gevoel dat het meeste wel gezegd was en de geschetste personages en omgeving waren weinig dynamisch (wat misschien ook wel het punt is). Op een aantal grappige hoofdstukken na was het voor mij niet interessant.

Heel mooie zinnen. Mooi geschreven. Interessant verhaal, zeer Vlaams.
Het voelt zeer echt en authentiek, er is niet echt een samenhangend verhaal, eerder een levensverhaal en het komt zeer dichtbij. Heel goed boek. Heb het heel snel uitgelezen.

The chapter "The Collector" would make a very good short story but other than that I wasn't particularly a fan

What a crazy, kooky, funny ride! This book is silly, but it was a good escape and laugh out loud at times. The context is male humor involving body functions and misfunctions, but if you don't take yourself too seriously it is great for a few laughs. It seems to me the Flanders humor is similar to British humor. Not too serious...just crazy and fun and reads very fast. The cover kind of says it all!
