[Tabea Nordhausen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Leuk boek en goed om Nederlands te leren. De tweede helft war een beetje saaie, maar de eerste helft was grappig. Dank je wel voor het mooi boek!

[Ivan Velichkovski · Rating 5 out of 5]

Achievement unlocked: the first Dutch book I've read successfully! Included some interesting trivia for Netherlands itself (and especially the Rotterdam area) as well as some stuff which might come in handy with integration tests (if those ever come to my plate). The book came with a helper dictionary of unknown words which helped me to unlock its meaning completely. This is a proof to myself that my level is certainly A2, if not even more advanced, as I was able to read all ~100 pages within 3 hours.

Een grappig verhaal dat over de paginas moeilijker en ingewikkelder word. Heel leuk!
Eerste geleende boek van de bibliotheek van Rotterdam - een goede gewoonte aan het groeien tegen de winter depressie.

The book does what it claims: it starts real easy and it gets more complex with time. I recommend it to any beginner learner of Dutch!
