Hello there, Matt. Sorry for not answering before. Just bear in mind that I wrote this 3 years ago... so perhaps we're not the same age (haha). As far as I remember, it wasn't difficult at all in terms of grammar/ vocab. I'd say it is an easy - intermediate book.
Also, I'm not german nor I'm fluent at it (I just understand a bit). I read it in portuguese (my mother tongue), wich made it much simpler to me.
Still, I recommend it to you. I often read books in different languagues in order to practice and broaden my lexical - keep a dictionnary aside or downloaded and go on. I usually write down new words and definitions in a little notebook, it's a memory trick. But it's unnecessary to write it all, there'll be words that you may rather skip and try to understand on its context. Think like that: the more you get that are strange to you, the more you're learning. So, It's definetely worth giving it a try in german, just be sure to pick a good version
and despite these (almost) two months since you asked. Tell me if you started it or not. I'd like to know how much you're liking it :)

Hi Pedro. You're the same age as I am so I figured I'd ask you ... how complex is the sentence structure / vocabulary / etc? I've been learning German and would like to read a German original, but I'm worried it might be too advanced.
