Rezension von SickboyRobJust finished reading it after one week. Never read the 100 yer old, so I can't refer to this. I really enjoyed reading it and had to smile a few times. I really like the way of writing and the sentence structure. imho it is an easy entertaining read. Only 4 out of 5 stars because sometimes the events in the book were so exaggerated that it pulled me out of the world. One example of this is the helicopter incident, people who read the book know what I mean. Of course it is fiction but till this point of the booked everything would at least have been possible concerning natural science. This part kind of broke the immersion. But overall I really enjoyed it and guess I should read the 100 year old....
