Mit witzigen aber auch ernsten Themen ist es ein muss für alle Fans von John Barowmann. Dieses Buch zu verstehen erfordert ein hohes maß an Englischkenntnissen.
Für mich persönlich ist es einer der Interesantesten Bücher die ich bis jetzt gelesen habe, es ist das erste Buch bei dem ich auch mal Lachen musste.
Einfach lesen....
