It is good if viewed as a satirical book, which it is. Otherwise it's a pain to read at times but it achieves its purpose.

3.5

Sehr wichtiges zeitgeschichtliches Zeugnis. Blendende Satire des politischen Geschehens, sehr interessante Charakterisierung des Diederich. Allerdings ätzend trocken und unmöglich ziehend. Hätte man um ein Drittel kürzen können, und hätte trotzdem die Essenz des Werkes zu Genüge übermittelt.
