Super schöne Abenteuergeschichte , nur ab der Hälfte kommen so viele Charaktere hinzu, das es mit einem Mal sehr verwirrend wird.
Aber sehr lesenswert

I can't believe this old ass book was so bloody good. Though it's long, not one page or a word was too much (although some may find the Italian parts a bit long, I didn't mind it). Each and every word contributed to the plot and was tied off splendidly at the end. 

Would recommend this to anyone who is trying to get into classic literature. It's quite easy to get into but not too simple in terms of the plot or character design. Definitely one of the top plot driven books I've ever read.
