Ich muss da wohl erstmal eine Nacht drüber schlafen... ( )

Went on a bit too much in parts of the third act, otherwise really good. ( )

Wunderbar morbides und grotesken Buch ( )

Reminded me of what I recall about Twain's Corruption of Hadleyburg. Love the author's notes at the end about avoiding finding huge metaphors and symbolism. I was a bit dissapointed by the ending, thought the buying of the towns assets would come into play. But caught up in the story and how greed corrupts and a little frightening how I could begin to justify the loss of a life for comfort. Felt very European, which was a nice change from my usual reads. ( )

Very funny, lovely story about human weakness, idealism, and the pressures of economic hardship. Memorable to be finishing this on the day of the McCutcheon ruling. ( )
