"Another boring story?"(I read the next section)"Ugh, that was nasty. Maybe this one will be better!"(And it was not)Normally, I love any type of German literature. I am an avid fan of learning the German language and would likely be considered an advanced student. However, this book was boring! The stories, although well translated, simply did not hold my interest.Others may enjoy this book, but I would not recommend it to anyone who likes a good story. Maybe you can use it for just learning the language, but I warn you that you might find yourself yawning and looking out the window.
