5.0 out of 5 stars
Even better on CD than on paper or screen!, May 19, 2011
This review is from: Portuguese Irregular Verbs (Hardcover)
I enjoyed this book on CD while traveling across the cornfields of the Midwest and it was so fabulous that at one point, I had to pull over to the side of the road because I was laughing so hard! The narrator has the most perfect voice: indignant, pompous and droll--as befitting a single, tall, fussy German professor who wrote the "classic" Portuguese Irregular Verbs. The storyline features vignettes highlighting his insecurities over whether a colleague actually OWNS his book to his feud with an Italian bed and breakfast owner who is convinced that Germans are eating more than their fair share of the world's food supply. I loved it and couldn't wait to listen to the next books in the series.
