Für das Alter erstaunlich gut lesbar, manche Passagen sind auch ziemlich gut, teilweise verliert sich die Geschichte in Nebengeschichten die wenig zur ganzen Story beitragen was es etwas schwer zu lesen macht. Als Einblick in die damalige Zeit definit interessant.

Pretty convincing summary of Modern Monetary Theory in an easy-to-understand manner. You do not need a degree in economics to understand this book.

Had a very good time reading It. Not so utterly serious ans generally more hopeful and funny with a strong "feel-good-vibe". Lots of cosmete references, so it's most fun for people who have at least read parts of the storm light archive although It is not necessarily for understanding the story.

Ganz Nett, Gibt einem auf jeden Fall zu denken. Teilweise aber doch sehr langsam und schwer verständlich. Ist aber schließlich auch ein Klassiker!

Ist bestimmt ein literarisches Meisterwerk, aber Spass macht das nicht. Für 1836 ganz ok.

It's alright but hard to get into, I've heard the next installments in the series will be a lot better so I'll see.
Definitely worth a read still.
