I was disappointed that it was a translation. Ich habe gedacht dass es keine Ubersetzung sein wurde, dass es auf Deutsch geschrieben wurde. Feedback If you need help or have a question for Customer Service, contact us.

Description Postage and payments. Aug 08, John rated it did not like it. Heute habe ich es zuende gelesen und frage mich, wie das Werk es auf die Bestsellerlisten geschafft hatte. Zugegeben, vielleicht bin ich zu kritisch oder aber vielleicht abgestumpft, was die Komik des Buches angeht. In the end it was not so funny, or maybe it is if you love something like Mr. Questo tipo di simpatia alla Mr.
Bean con me non ha mai funzionato. Jun 12, Dzor rated it it was ok. Protagonist rather unlikeable, but a few redeeming characters and moments of humor. Oct 14, George Foord rated it it was amazing. I really enjoyed this book and was gripped throughout. I think you should read it and make up your own mind instead of reading these other reviews. May 11, Kristina rated it liked it. Expected more details about German life and instead, there was a persistent complaining the whole book.
Nov 14, Ingrid rated it really liked it. Despite the beginning of the book seemed to me a little "slow", with the beginning of the plot it became catchier and catchier, and in the end I couldn't stop reading it! For those who have read "a year in the merde" from Stephen Clarke, I have to tell you that this book has nothing to do with it and has a different style.

I suppose when I started reading "A year in the Scheisse" I was expecting the same story but moved to another country, and that's why the beginning was not that interesting or funny for me, coz until i got into the plot I was just adapting from one writer to another.
I know France, and I know Germany, and I expected to see all this cultural shock reflected on the book -like it happens in "A year in the merde", but in fact the main character has been living already for 30 years in Germany, so of course many of those things that may have shocked him at the beginning of his stay in the country have turned now into part of his routine.
A Year in the Scheisse: Getting to Know the Germans
In a nutshell, the book is about a cynical journalist in tax debt who needs a miracle, or a crazy plan, to solve his situation. Apr 12, Norbert P rated it it was amazing. It's not only the title that makes this book comparable with 'A Year in the Merde', but the perspective of the author seems to be another.
Boyes's protagonist seems to be well in his fourties, a journalist looking for a wife in order to reduce taxes. The amorous adventures he gets into are therefore somehow planned but happen to be completely unexpected in their outcome and in the end it's not him who is going to be married. Although Boyes too artificially plays with the differences between two It's not only the title that makes this book comparable with 'A Year in the Merde', but the perspective of the author seems to be another.
Although Boyes too artificially plays with the differences between two cultures, the plot of his book is always the more important part whereas in Clarkes novel the plot only serves to create a succession of comic situations in order to ridicule french lifestyle which is funny indeed but remains always a bit adolescent compared with 'A Year in the Scheisse'. A really funny book with lovable characters, a page-turner from the first to the last chapter. Feb 03, Chrissi rated it really liked it Shelves: Roger Boyes tells life like it is - messy, ridiculous, and absolutely hilarious.
The good and the bad, the struggles and the joys - but the struggles seem to bring the most laughter. Whether it was his description of going to the gym locker room, the elaborate cheating game at the Berlin Marathon, or the fiery confrontation between two girlfriends on the Baltic holiday, I pretty much laughed for most of this book.
It reminds me of the same issues I've had in travel - things that are so mad they Roger Boyes tells life like it is - messy, ridiculous, and absolutely hilarious. It reminds me of the same issues I've had in travel - things that are so mad they could only happen in real life and only to me.
I am looking forward to picking up the second book to see how the adventures continue.

Jan 03, Mark Jones rated it did not like it. As an Englishman living in Germany, I immediately grabbed this book when I saw it in the second-hand store.
It looked like an entertaining read - the experiences and observations of other British guys living in this brilliant country appealed to me. What I got, however, was a series of spurious anecdotes from a selfish, lazy prick regarding his experiences of speed dating, and travelling around Germany in pursuit of tabloid journalism garbage to publish.

Sure, I read through most of this thing As an Englishman living in Germany, I immediately grabbed this book when I saw it in the second-hand store. Sure, I read through most of this thing in a day, giggling once or twice in the process - I guess I could credit the author with making a train journey less dull.
Mar 14, Catherine rated it it was ok. I had thought the book would include funny observations of German quirks in general, coupled with funny observations of an Englishman's pre-conceived ideas of Germans and how they are challenged. The book was a narrative of the author's life in Germany as the title indicates but it seems the author came into contact with few Germans apart from one or two men t 1. The book was a narrative of the author's life in Germany as the title indicates but it seems the author came into contact with few Germans apart from one or two men to be sneered at and a couple of neurotic women.
I'd have thought, even in just a year, the author would have intereacted with more people and had more to say about the Germans in general. Aug 28, MLE rated it it was ok. Only read it because it was in the bestsellers section. Other than that, I'm not so sure what's so 'best selling' about it.
