I'm not sure. It definitely made me laugh occasionally, but it wasn't as great as I expected, considering how many people praised it to high heavens. (The last chapter, for example, was brilliant, and the ending even more so.)
I do intend to read the Czech translation, though. I'm curious about how it was done, and my grandma had been recommending it for the last maybe 13 years. :)

A little outdated, having first been published in 1937, but cute nonetheless. I suppose the humor would have been more immediate at the time it was written. It does show many of the reasons why it's difficult for foreigners to learn English! There are so many ways the language can trip you up if you didn't grow up with it.
