poor translation - not in chronological order - fewer strips
oh well... yes, it's just a german translation. And don't buy it, if you can get the english originals (for those who speak both languages) - it's not worth it at all

This is just an example of poor publishing
- the translation is poor, some lines are just mistranslated, some jokes/lines are missed completely (and don't make any sense anymore). I know that the process of translating comic strip is not an easy one, but here it was done amateurishly
- the german editions are not a 1-1 translation of the originials, they rather made a couple issues out of one original - and they threw the correct order of the strips overboard, that way you need to buy 10 german c&h books to get the aquivalent of 3 of the orginals...

Bad luck for all of you who don't speak German
First I have to say, that it's really not that easy to find out online that this book is in German - luckily I'm German so I understood it. Es ist ziemlich gut, man sollte sich aber doch lieber an die englischen Originalausgaben halten. I liked it as I liked all Calvin and Hobbes, but better buy the "Essential" or the other English reprints - they're much better.

Only buy this book if you speak German!
I also bought this book based on a reader review. I don't know what they were thinking! This is all in German! I'm really dissapointed. Oh well, maybe one of my friends in Germany will enjoy it...

this is dissappointing
I ordered this book based on the reviews on this site that this was something original that Bill Watterson put out after Calvin & Hobbes' run. However, it is exactly what it sounds like : a translation of Calvin & Hobbes' in german! Very dissapointing.

...Auf Dem Sprung IS IN GERMAN
...this book IS exactly what it sounds like, Calvin and Hobbes comic
strips reprinted in German. Some of the oldest at that. And the book
is small and thin. .... Zero stars if you can't read German. Probably
4 stars if you can, assuming the translation is good.

GREAT
This follows right in line with all other Calvin and Hobbes books. I reccomend that everyone read this. It made me fall off the couch I laughed so hard. GREAT BOOK.

Awsome book
I love Calvin and Hobbes and this is AWSOME. It follows just in line with Calvin and Hobbes books. If you don't know what Calvin and Hobbes is like here it is. It's about a 1st grader with the attitude like a first grader, but the mind of an adult. He has a stuffed tiger who's "real" to him but just a stuffed animal to everyone else. It is one of my favorite Calvin and Hobbes. ... Read more

Calvin y Hobbes 4
I have to start out by saying that not just this one but all of the "Calvin and Hobbes" books are really great and deserved to be read! Me myself I think that "The Calvin and Hobbes" books are extremely great. This one in particular is really nicely written and really funny. It has really great cartoon strips that are sure to make everybody laugh. I give this book 5 stars for a great and funny written cartoon strip! ... Read more
