Crazy

I bought the english version of this book to help me to read the original german and it was really helpful. The book is an insight into the lives of a group of boarding school friends where they contemplate love, friendship and growing up... Very sweet book with some very philosophical parts :-)

I found my self with a copy of this book, the book's blurb and funky cover cought my attention, and I was egarly anticipating this read. They say that you must never judge a book by it's cover, this I must have forgot, as I was thouraly disapointed by the content of this book. Lebert tells the story of a group of friends, growing up in a boarding school. The basic plot is very confused, you feel that the auther has no idea of where he is taking the story, an instant turn off for me. There is a huge amount of conversation between characters which has very little relavence to the plot, and becomes increasingly irritating. whenever the plot seems to be going some where, it will be suddenly interupted, by more droning chitta-chatta. The basic story line could have prehaps been an intresting one, but unforunetly, it's so badly writen, it doesn't stand a chance of becoming interesting. A very poor read.

This is an amazingly tallented fresh young author, hopefully we will see more work of this standard again soon!!!!a beatiful story of a boy at boarding school, who shows us his view on life, an honest and humbling view. This book should be read by everyone !!!!
