Das Buch war sehr lustig und unterhaltsam, und hat mich mehrmals zum Lachen gebracht. Eine tolle leichte Lektüre, die ich allen empfehlen würde. Die Themen Familie und Freundschaft sind hier zentral, was das ganze Buch auch mit ganz viel Liebe füllt.

A joy to read

I read this book from cover to cover in one day. I can't quite put my finger on it, but the mixture of humour and earnestness, relationship developments and just simply an abundance of personality in this book reeled me in and didn't let me go. There were so many hilarious moments where I laughed out loud, tender moments (in that sort of guy way) that melted my heart a little, and ridiculous situations where I'd normally cringe and put the book down, but couldn't with this one. The amnesia situation shouldn't have worked. It shouldn't have. But it did. Sam is a fantastic MC to get to know and spend some time in his head. I was actually sad to finish the book and let him go. He's not a “good guy” by any means, he has his flaws and sort of works on them but kind of keeps them, which makes him very interesting. I love that as soon as he's introduced with being named after a LOTR character, it keeps popping up here and there throughout the story and is neither forgotten halfway through nor overused (which I very much appreciated). Jonathan is a dick. But he's a dick with a heart. He even gets chosen by Gollum to be the Designated Cat Cushion, and petter, and overall his go-to human. The relationship between Jonathan and Sam's cat is a joy to witness. And most importantly, let's not forget the queen, Agnieszka, Jonathan's housekeeper, who I hope gets her own book/story someday.
