Prinzessin Insomnia & der alptraumfarbene Nachtmahr: Roman | Walter Moers

bailed

As pretty as this book is, as self-fulfilling is its title. I was close to suffering narcoleptic episodes when I read this repetitive, pretentious crap that calls itself a novel. I feel that Moers has deteriorated immensely ever since publishing his famous books like Bluebear or City of Dreaming Books. Such a pity!

GatheringBooks a new moers novel! has it been translated to english yet? 7y

Heideschrampf @scripturient i'm glad i'm not the only one! I was mad, too! It did feel like a personal letdown somehow since his good novels felt so full of love and detail... 7y

Heideschrampf @Sarah83 yupp, this is pure money making ðŸ˜ 7y

Took my car in this morning to be serviced and am now killing four hours in the city. Starting off with a cuppa Earl Grey and the new Walter Moers book.

Plainly bad writing. A repetitive repetition of luke warm leftover ideas... seriously: you have no idea HOW MANY REPETITIONS there can be in one sequel... and enumerations... and similies... and chains of synonyms... and repetitions... (did i mention repetitions?) Keep off!

Maike Oh no ðŸ˜” 7y

I want it to be over... it turns out a long loooooong rambling repetitive rip-off after all... way to long and plotless. And rather uninspired (compared to his previous work, if maybe not to other authors) while trying too hard and yet not hard enough... probably works better as a comic? Andreas Fröhlich aka Bob Andrews does a great job though. #dissappointingsequels

Sarah83 Nicht gut? Ich hatte im Vorfeld mal gelesen, dass nach diesem noch ein weiteres Buch rauskommen soll und dass man den Inhalt kÃ¼nstlich gestreckt hat, um noch Stoff fÃ¼r ein weiteres Buch zu haben. ðŸ¤” 7y

Heideschrampf @Sarah83 oh gott! Ich habe keine ahnung, wie sich die story noch weiter strecken liesse... wirklich eine schwere enttäuschung. 7y

Sarah83 Das tut mir so leid ðŸ¤” 7y

Heideschrampf @Sarah83 wirklich schade drum... 7y

Sarah83 Meinst du er hatte keine Ideen mehr? 7y

Heideschrampf @Sarah83 ja, oder schlimmer noch: keine lust. Wer weiss wozu ihn der verlag gezwungen hat... die 13 1/2 sequels des verfluchten comiczeichners? 7y

Sarah83 HÃ¶rt sich fast so an. ðŸ˜§â˜¹ï¸ 7y

Nothing better than a surrealistic fairy tale for waking up monday morning, the only student at uni... English speaking littens: have you heard of ZAMONIA, captain blue bears world? It's like dr suess, but waaaay longer, replacing the rhymes with alliterations and just as silly

DivaDiane No, I have not! And I lived in Germany for many, many years until recently! 7y

Kathrin I hovered over this book yesterday, but didn't end up buying because I was soooo disappointed by

Das Labyrinth der Träumenden Bücher: Roman

Heideschrampf @DivaDiane then you were missing out! The planet was invented for the infamous kids hero "käpt'n blaubär" (aka captain blue bear, wo is a blue bear) and his "autobiography". This is part eight playing on this strange world now. I highly recommend the german audiobook read by the late dirk bach.

13 1/2 Lives of Captain Blue Bear

Heideschrampf @Kathrin yes, i didn't much like that one either. But since this came part of my audible subscription for a tenner i was willing to give it a chance. Not far in yet, but so far so good. I've never READ any of them though, the audio always appealed much more to me (edited) 7y

DivaDiane Oh that sounds great! We love audiobooks here! 7y

Heideschrampf @DivaDiane great! Let me know how you like it if you try it :) 7y

Kathrin @Heideschrampf I agree, the audio books are the way to go for sure! 7y
