13.5 Lives of Captain Bluebear

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.
