Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   ) Treebeard_404 | Jan 23, 2024 |  2023-11-28: Not certain when I started this but it was an attempt at another McCall Smith because The Sunday Philosophy Club wasn't very interesting. This one is also not very interesting. I can see the appeal and it's humorous in parts but not enough parts to sustain my effort. We'll see. 2023-12-01: The difference between this book and The Sunday Philosophy Club is that when I hit the wall in TSPC the bottom of my Kobo said ~25% read and when I hit the wall in this book it said ~50% read. This one was shorter and that it made it possible to continue. I did make it to 54% in TSPC so maybe I'll finish it. This one never passed mildly amusing. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. AMS is a good writer, I just didn't find the topic/characters engaging. Also, this should be better approached as a series of shorts about a character rather than as a novel. I didn't get that till the end. ( ) Awfki | Dec 7, 2023 |  ) Alishadt | Feb 25, 2023 | Bookish59 | Aug 26, 2021 | ) emrsalgado | Jul 23, 2021 |
 I am headed to local library to check this one out again. If you like to laugh and have a dry sense of humor you will absolutely relate to this book....and quick note, it's first in a series of three. The negative reviews on this book astound me. What planet are you on? I take mine dry with a side of umph.... Appartient à la sérieEst contenu dansEst en version abrégée dans
Von Igelfeld is the world's leading scholar on Portuguese irregular verbs, having written a majestic, nearly 1,200-page book on the subject. As one review says, "There is nothing more to be said on this subject. Nothing." But in other matters, von Igelfeld is not nearly so skilled. Whether haplessly playing tennis against an equally dreadful opponent, or committing his friends to swordfighting duels without their knowledge, von Igelfeld is somewhat naive in the ways of the world. Yet that does not stop him from having a go at life, and the results are always humorous. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
