Ein durchaus witziges Buch mit einem bissigen Humor und einem Hauch von Realität - genau das, was man lesen sollte, wenn man sich im Urlaub gemütlich zurücklehnen möchte. Etwas konfus machten mich zeitweilig die vielen verschiedenen Personen, die ich auch nicht immer auseinander halten konnte.
FAZIT: Ein gelungenes Buch für lustige Stunden... und Agenturleben live! ( )

Q: What’s the difference between „The Godfather“ and „e – A Novel”?
A: The sequel of “e – A Novel” (i.e. “E²”) is better.

Ok, the book is still funny, the characters are dumb, schemers, and the bosses are self-righteous arseholes.
Very entertaining, and very hard to put down. The book mostly consists of e-mails, sms’ and private messages so you have to reconstruct the stories behind all these messages. Confusing in the beginning but it doesn’t take too long to recognize the voices and their individuality. The best thing is: the funniest stories are not told directly but only in pieces you have to put together. And the further the stories go the more these pieces fit together.
But in comparison to E² I missed the really hilarious parts like the Nigerian princess, David’s disastrous family life, Papin, the Serbien detective, the thefts and the Helsinki rock-concerts.
Still worth to read, but for suspense’s sake I recommend to read “e” first. ( )
