This was OK, but I doubt it would have been published if Smith hadn't already written other popular books. He pokes fun at Germans and academics while telling the story of Professor Dr. Dr. von Igelfeld, a professor of Portuguese linguistics. Dr. von Igelfeld gets into trouble when he arrives at an Arkansas college to give a lecture and discovers that the college has confused him with a professor of veterinary medicine. Instead of explaining the problem, he lectures on sausage dogs. Mild amusement ensues. ( )

Somewhat slow..but it is kind of great actually. Especially when read with an accent. ( )

A sequel to Portuguese Irregular Verbs, with more social gaffes and assorted antics from Dr Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld as he travels from Arkansas to the Vatican. I can highly recommend the unabridged audiobook version narrated by Hugh Laurie with its cute musical interludes between chapters. ( )

Reminded me of Wodehouse. And I'm not a big Wodehouse fan either. ( )
