Journal Entry 1 by linguistkris from Remscheid, Nordrhein-Westfalen Germany on Sunday, October 25, 2015
Grabbed from the book exchange shelf at the Carrot/Cake café yesterday.
I think I had the German version of this once, but I have little doubt it will be even nicer in the original.

Wow, this was great! I hadn't read any Christopher Moore before, but I doubt this will have been my last.
Also, I am extremely glad I read this in the original. It's true that main narrator Abby's "Valley Goth" lingo was a challenge to me as an a) non-native speaker of English and b) crusty old person (i.e. no longer a teenager), but I don't think a translation could do this much justice. I also really enjoyed the San Francisco setting and although it's never explicitly mentioned, I kept imagining the gorgeous Life Sciences Building at UCB whenever Foo's studies came into play. :)
It's such a relief that there is vampire lit like this in a world were "Twilight" is so incomprehensibly popular.
