Title: Love the translation!!!!
Review: Am I the only person who loves these books and thinks they're absolutely hilarious because of the Sidney Shapiro translation? I feel very shallow, because the stories and characters are certainly fascinating, but I get an enormous kick out of such lines as this:"Frigging monkeyshines! Who says I have any Right Honorable XImen in there!""Don't hog him all to yourself! Let me have a lick of the juice too. Think I don't know?""Little ape! What do you know?""Stingy as cutting vegetables with a hoof-paring knife in a wooden spoon, aren't you?"And the fact that they keep saying things like, "I don't give a tooting fart!"I apologize for this not-very-intellectual assessment of the books, but they kept me laughing out loud and reading choice passages to people. I love them!!!
