einen Stern weil es mich durch den Knast gebracht hat.

[Malinka Reads · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is not amazing but it was interesting! It describes the (crazy) ideas that middle aged man have to feel yonger and what their wifes do, to get back at them. The action takes place in Germany so most of them are quite conventional, others want to lose control and live a fuller life....
Read to find out how they do it.

Spassoso, irriverente senza ipocrisie o velleità culturali! Ogni tanto ci vuole!

[Enne · Rating 3 out of 5]

All’inizio sembrava una chiavica e pensi 300 pagine così non le reggo, poi ti prende, resta comunque un libretto simpatico ma non troppo, senza pretese. Il Femminismo spiegato alle casalinghe.

[BECUE · Rating 4 out of 5]

funny and quite a good analyze of men and women psychology; the trouble with " making whoopee"

[Crista · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was one of the first books I read in this genre and I gotta say I have since read better. The main ML is not likeable at all. He’s an old rich guy who isn’t anything to look at but thinks I’m rich so why not dump the wife and get a hot young thing. I’ll also screw the wife over with my money at the same time. The FL, why does she go along with it? To get a sugar daddy when she’s in a relationship? Her own admission the guy does nothing for her so why go along with it?

Il primo libro della Hauptmann che non ho finito con sforzo. Ritmi serrati e parecchia confusione come sempre nei suoi romanzi, ma la storia e' piacevole e divertente, anche se un po' superficiale. Lettura leggera da viaggio.

[Jane Hutcheson · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book will not win the Booker Prize but it's light, rattles along at a good pace and is laugh out loud funny in places.

[Moira · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ein interessanter Roman, viel Abwechslung, was mich als Leser gestört hat, sind die verschiedenen Sichten. Ich wusste am Ende nicht mehr wer zu wem gehörte.

Terapeutico e divertente.

Having read and enjoyed another of her books, I couldn't resist this one!

Ring di lettura. Incommentabile.
