pickSome of the stories are really boring, some are weird, some are fairly interesting - funnily enough, those are usually my usual genres I read. The boring stories did drag a lot though and made me not want to read, so I'm not sure I'd completely recommend it, because at times it felt so taxing I actually avoided the book.

thereadingpal That said, the goal of the book is to improve your German and make you understand by context (and using translation when needed). I'm happy to say that I could understand most of what was going on by the end of it, while the first stories were a bit more challenging as I used the vocabs way too much and I still wasn't using German as much as I should (still am not, but I'm using it much more). 3mo
thereadingpal Recommended for its purpose, but I wish the stories were better. 3mo
julesG Wish I could recommend some good stories for learners of German. What I used to recommend to my adult students of English (as a second language) was to pick a story/book they knew well in German and read the English version. Might work the other way around too. 3mo

thereadingpal @julesG perhaps! My first language is Italian but English stories would also work I think. I also bought some children's and teens books 3mo
julesG 🤦🏻♀️I assumed. Well, guess a story you know well in Italian would work too, I suppose 3mo
thereadingpal @julesG ahaha it's okay!!! 3mo
