Ühesõnaga, ma kopeerisin selle siia, et ehk keegi (näiteks Jürka) oskab ära arvata, mis raamatut ma siis ikkagi lugesin, mina seda paika panna ei suuda.
Raamat aga on lugemist väärt küll ja pean au andma tõlkijale -- kohati on tegemist sulaselge sõnamänguga ja selliseid asju tõlkida on tõeline õudus. Üldiselt on tegu natuke eesti lugejale tuttava Ijon Tichy laadse pulaga, ent see on hea pula, mis kohati meenutab Pratchettit ja kohati isegi Saint-Exuperyd -- sellised muhedad vindiga lood, mida küll kuidagi tõsiselt ei saa võtta, ent mis on naljakad, vaimukad ja omal viisil sügavad ja õpetlikud. Tore lugemine.
