A fun sci fi book if you don't mind plot holes
This is about what happens when the Earth is discovered by extraterrestrial life. Overall, I'd say it's an ok book for kicks, but if you're not really secure in your German you might get confused and think it was you when in fact the book just has some plot holes and inconsistencies.
The first quarter and last chapter have some clever scenes and great humour. If the whole book was like that it would be 5 stars through and through.
However, I'm not sure what happened in between - in the middle I felt like there were too many plot holes, and convenient and overly silly solutions to problems as they came up. Some sci fi elements were explained technically more than you'd like to read while others were just plopped in with no fanfare. Some characters were well developed and others were oddly built up to be major characters and turned out to have almost no substance. A few dialogs were totally irrelevant and felt like they were crowbared in to provide an ethical lesson, but not a particularly well-thought through one.
