review 1: After seein git in the theatre in Dresden I naturally had to read this brilliant book.Herrendorf's style is incomparable, it sounds like something the protagoist would actually say and write this way and it is authentic.the story is beautiful, strange and makes you dream about doing a spontagious roadtrip (maybe without stealing the car).There are moments were you simply burst out laughing and moments were you hold your breath an dmoments were you are suddenly sad and don't really know why and I think I had all differen tkinds of feelings during this book and all felt right.Simply read it
review 2: A quirky, funny read. Like a palate-cleanser between heavier reading. From Amazon: A beautifully written, darkly funny coming-of-age story from an award-winning, b
... moreestselling German author making his American debut.Mike Klingenberg doesn't get why people think he's boring. Sure, he doesn't have many friends. (Okay, zero friends.) And everyone laughs at him when he reads his essays out loud in class. And he's never invited to parties - including the gorgeous Tatiana's party of the year.Andre Tschichatschow, aka Tschick (not even the teachers can pronounce his name), is new in school, and a whole different kind of unpopular. He always looks like he's just been in a fight, his clothes are tragic, and he never talks to anyone.But one day Tschick shows up at Mike's house out of the blue. Turns out he wasn't invited to Tatiana's party either, and he's ready to do something about it. Forget the popular kids: Together, Mike and Tschick are heading out on a road trip. No parents, no map, no destination. Will they get hopelessly lost in the middle of nowhere? Probably. Will they meet crazy people and get into serious trouble? Definitely. But will they ever be called boring again?Not a chance. less

Herrndorfs Schreibstil ist erfrischend und witzig, kein Kapitel in diesem Buch ist langweilig!
