Suspend Reality For Just a Second

And you will love this book! Keep in mind: It is not meant to instruct anyone on how to speak to real-life Germans...it is simply a sarcastic, harmless fun-poking bit of dry humor. If one was silly enough to actually try and use this, he/she might end up with their "hazelnuts in a vise". I live in Germany and have let my German friends take a look at it just to guage their opinions. The result? The humor doesn't translate and they just don't "get it"---they find it neither insulting nor funny.

So just loosen up, enjoy it for what it is and realize that complaints that it's not a 'real' book are useless and moot. Enjoy! Tschuss!

Wicked Funny

The Wicked German book is hilarious! Obviously, it's not suitable for any practical use, - you won't learn anything you need to know here - but I laughed my way through the entire book. For that reason alone, I recommend the book to any student of German.

This Book Sucks

I bought this book figuring it was practical and useful, which for my surprise, was exactly the opposite! It gives you several phrases in German (organized by travel situations and SCENARIOS) which are more of JOKES than helpful statements to use while you are travelling.

If you are a beginner at German idiom, don't buy it. It won't help you at all.

However, if you already speak German, and want to laugh at the CULTURAL ASPECTS of Germany, than this is your book indeed.
