After reading some of the comments regarding the translation of this book I'm glad I own it in the original German language. What I don't understand are all the comments about how unreal and overdrawn the story was, but in the end we're talking about fiction here and not a factual report. So if you're looking for something "light" to read and a good laugh here and there take my advice and buy the German version "Suche impotenten Mann fuer's Leben".

The book may deserve more stars, but its hard to see the good of the book with such a HORRIBLE translation! I've been reading translated books from all over the place. Never have I been so aware of the fact that a book is translated as I have been while reading this. It does not stick! What a horrible way to ruin a book. Shaun, next time, take your time with the translation and think about what the author is saying!

This is one of the most painfully awful books I've had the (dis)pleasure of reading. I speak German and there were many times, while reading this horribly translated book, that I could not even understand the English translation and I had to think about it in German just to understand the English. I didn't have a problem with the British English; I just had a problem with how terribly the translator did this book. It's like he looked up every word in the dictionary and wrote down the first meaning he saw, without making sure that was the *right* meaning. I have to admit that the plot isn't that great itself - it starts strong and then the author tries to add too many new twists and turns, completely eliminating the character development. All in all, I can't say that I recommend this book, but if you're going to read it, either find a better translation or read it in the original.

The jacket copy looked great: great idea... attractive woman sick of leering men, looking for something different. However, the book sucks. Awkward writing style, and completely childish relationships. She sounds about 20 years old, believing in soul mates after one date, inviting strangers up to her apartment, going to their house on a blind date, meeting a millionaire who gives her so much of his time and attention for no apparent reason, oh puhleeze. I got about 50 pages in and then gave up in disgust. This book was completely NOT believable. WHAT a disappointment. I've run and answered personal ads. I guess I'd better write my OWN book based on real life, not the fantasy of this author.

I expected a great deal more from this book than i received, the translation was shoddy and the plot was too far fetched, particularly the rushed ending. Overall, i was looking for light fluff and i found it with none of the satisfaction associated with entertaining reads. THe one plus, i must say, is that i learned some interesting facts about impotence.
