Welcome to Litsy!

As pretty as this book is, as self-fulfilling is its title. I was close to suffering narcoleptic episodes when I read this repetitive, pretentious crap that calls itself a novel. I feel that Moers has deteriorated immensely ever since publishing his famous books like Bluebear or City of Dreaming Books. Such a pity!

Took my car in this morning to be serviced and am now killing four hours in the city. Starting off with a cuppa Earl Grey and the new Walter Moers book.

Plainly bad writing. A repetitive repetition of luke warm leftover ideas... seriously: you have no idea HOW MANY REPETITIONS there can be in one sequel... and enumerations... and similies... and chains of synonyms... and repetitions... (did i mention repetitions?) Keep off!

I want it to be over... it turns out a long loooooong rambling repetitive rip-off after all... way to long and plotless. And rather uninspired (compared to his previous work, if maybe not to other authors) while trying too hard and yet not hard enough... probably works better as a comic? Andreas Fröhlich aka Bob Andrews does a great job though. #dissappointingsequels

Nothing better than a surrealistic fairy tale for waking up monday morning, the only student at uni... English speaking littens: have you heard of ZAMONIA, captain blue bears world? It's like dr suess, but waaaay longer, replacing the rhymes with alliterations and just as silly
