[Cooper Renner · Rating 3 out of 5]

This seems to be the entry for just one volume of the ebooking of what was originally a 20 volume set, published in the early 20th century. I'm reading Effi Briest by Theodor Fontane, from what was originally volume 12. I haven't read this entire collecion, but just Effi, which is an abridgment I discovered while reading. Interesting, in its way, often funny, smoothly written, but not (at least in this version) earth-shatteringly fine.
