I have to admit I was disappointed when I saw that the English version of one of my favourite German books had been reduced to just over 100 pages but decided to read it anyway and as I wanted to pass it on to my 8 year old son I thought it might actually turn out to be an advantage. Anyway I was glad to find that nothing had been lost in translation and the main characters are just as charismatic in the English version. :)

Just as I remembered
13 Jun 2007
Format:Paperback
I was 15 years old in Hungary when I read the Karl May's stories of Winnetou and Old Shatterhand. What a great nostalgic experience it was to read them again, this time in english, over 50 years later.

wholesome, fabulous read
18 Dec 2006
Format:Paperback
I read most of Karl May's stories as a child. They were at that time translated into Czech. The stories are everything you could ask for. There is adventure, mystery,etc. You name it and it's in there. Deep down there are also non-assuming messages on how to be a good person. These books shaped my views on bigotry in a way no speech or lesson ever could have.

Easy read full of errors
27 April 2008
Format:Paperback
We purchased this book because my husband remembered his mother enjoying reading them decades ago in Prague when he was a boy. The easy read version was a mistake to get. The font was good, but the ubiquitous and omnipresent typos did not make reading easy. I read aloud and often had to stop and reread sentences because "on" should have been "of" or some other mistake was apparent. Bottom line, the book in this form was a disappointment.
