Critics Review
It’s a fun read, packed with Moers’s typical wordplay, not to mention his lovingly detailed illustrations…catnip for anyone with a passion for languages
It’s a fun read, packed with Moers’s typical wordplay, not to mention his lovingly detailed illustrations…catnip for anyone with a passion for languages – James Lovegrove * Financial Times *
Moers fans will find everything they love: strange lifeforms, ample digressions, learned allusions, a plethora of anagrams, and the disturbing illustrations that are just as fine as they are humorous * Büchercheck *
Yarnspinner is a popstar, the Michael Jackson of the printed word: in short, a hero * NDR [North German Broadcasting] Kultur *
