The 13 ½ lives of Captain Blue Bear

Auf 700 Seiten wandelt der Blaubär durch die komplette Weltgeschichte Zamoniens. Eine Weltgeschichte, die äußerst vielfältig und fantasievoll gestaltet ist, Moers wirft geradezu um sich mit Ideen für interessante Wesen, Tätigkeiten und Naturgewalten. Das ganze ist auch optisch ausgestaltet, immer wieder gibt es Illustrationen oder Seitenfüllende Wörter, die den Ernst der Lage deutlich machen. Insgesamt ein sehr unterhaltsames und interessantes Buch, das ich gerne gelesen habe.

Imaginative and adventurous. Reminded me of THGTG. If you have enjoyed THGTH you sure would love this too.

My favourites from this book include:

“Life is too precious to be left to chance”
and “I never trained, however, because I was a spontaneous talent. Practising spoiled my style.”

Having read this chunky book (thanks to Felipe) gives me impetus that someday I could read LOTR, the book I never attempt to read because of the volume and extremely small font. #someday

I enjoyed this book a lot. The humor was very absurd and silly and I liked that. But unfortunately it suffers from the same problem as Douglas Adams' books: it gets old after a book. I tried some of Moers' other books and just couldn't get into them the same as with Käpt'n Blaubär. I guess being different than the rest is a blessing and a curse.
