Toll.
My German teacher told me about the movie and I knew that I had to read the book when I found it. The dialect makes it a more advanced read. 

Hans Pfeiffer is a succesful writer. He has never gone to school, because he was home-schooled. While drinking Feuerzangenbowle with friends, he realises that he missed out. Consequently, he decides to dress up as a student and to go to school. He is a troublemaker and ends up ruling over the school and chasing after the director's daughter.

I wished that the last part of the book was removed or different, because I didn't like it.
