Didn't like the translation at all (tried english and german), i do however understand that translating from polish to a completely other language (i.e. german / english) is probably very difficult.
Other than that i really liked the book. The characters are interesting, have sensible motiviations and the stories are well structured.

I mostly like science fiction (as long as it's not philosophical), fantasy and crime fiction. Other than that, i like Magic: The Gathering (almost exclusively EDH) and DnD.
