I've just started studying German and was wondering if this would be more or less easy to read when I have a little more control of the language. If not, any recommendations?

You'll have to look up words from time to time but I promise it will be worth the effort because it will teach you the words that add colour, texture and magic and really gives a language wings.(less)

It's a children's book (suitable for kids 10 years and older in my estimation), but it's compelling, thrilling, and wonderfully imaginative. It has fantastical elements, a strong female protagonist, and is beautifully written. My mom loved it, if that helps. :)(less)

I'm relectant to recommend Momo to my 11-year-old daughter, the thoughts behind the story is great, but I couldn't finish reading it ... to me, the story, especially the First Part "Momo and her friends", is somehow incoherent and boring. Adults may like the book because of its messages the author tried to deliver. I was wondering how younger readers comment on this book? Thanks, ZF
