Vermutlich mein liebstes Schulbuch, hätte ich am Anfang niemals gedacht, da dieses unglaubliche zäh war, da hat das Hörbuch doch sehr mit geholfen. Besonders mit den Charakteren habe ich mich sehr angefreundet und bin nun doch vom Ende berührt. Ein besonders großes Lob an Fontane für Rollo, so ein tolles Tier!

Ein wirklich wunderschöner Schreibstil. Das Ende gefällt mir nur leider überhaupt nicht und einige Ansichten in diesem Buch sind aus heutiger Sicht mit Sicherheit mehr als nur problematisch.
