Negative Positive
Title: Absolutely ridiculous and unbelievable.
Review: I was drawn to this book at the airport -- looking for a light read and the premise seemed liked it could lead to a funny, entertaining novel. I also was intrigued to read something by a German author. Unfortunately, I was really disappointed. I've heard that it is difficult to translate German novels into English and I'd like to believe that to give this one the benefit of the doubt. The pace of events is overly rapid, to say the least. The main character places a personal add stating she is in search of an impotent man. The replies are entertaining. But the relationships she develops in the course of the story are completely unbelievable. One man she meets becomes a person she regards as one of her best friends in a week; her elderly neighbor is a bosom buddy in just a few days; she and the man of her dreams are deeply in love within about 2 days of meeting each other and after 2 weeks look headed for the alter. Absolutely ridiculous.
