In the latest entertaining and hilarious Professor Dr Moritz-Maria Von Igelfeld novel, our hopelessly out-of-touch hero is forced to confront uppity librarians, the rector of the university and a possible hostile takeover, all while trying to remain studiously above it all.

Professor Dr Dr Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld and his colleagues at the University of Regensburg's Institute of Romance Philology pride themselves on their unwavering commitment to intellectual excellence. They know it is their job to protect a certain civilized approach to the scholarly arts. So when a new deputy librarian, Dr. Hilda Schreiber-Ziegler, threatens to drag them all down a path of progressive inclusivity, they are determined to stop her in the name of scholarship - even if that requires von Igelfeld to make the noble sacrifice of running for director of the Institute. Alas, politics is never easy, and in order to put his best foot forward, von Igelfeld will be required to take up a visiting fellowship at Oxford and cultivate the attentions of a rather effusive young American scholar. Still, von Igelfeld has always heeded the clarion call of duty, especially when it comes with a larger office.

Only kept going with this as I am a big fan of this series, I recommend speeding up the playback a bit just to help with the awkward narration of this book. The story was great apart from that!

Terrible Narration

It looks like this is soon going to continue with a visit to St Petersburg and possibly a meeting with Putin as I predicted in my review to the third of this series. Greatinds think alike and I only wish I had the discipline to write books like these, let alone such a magnum opus if Romance philology as Portuguese Irregular verbs.

I enjoyed the development of the Unterhauser character and Herr Huber, as well as the introduction of the new characters of the university administration.

I get the impression that AMcCS is getting more mordant in his social commentary as time goes by, and I do enjoy and welcome that.

A word to the narration. Others have expressed their disappointment in the narrator. I don't think it was such a bad narration, his German pronunciation is largely on point, his dry humourous tone quite appropriate and I don't find a Transatlantic voice inappropriate as some reviewers before me have said. But he is a bit monochrome, without the ability to distinguish characters that Hugh Laurie and Julian Rhind-Tutt have. But like I said, it wasn't such a bad narration, it's just we've been spoiled by the previous actors.

Das kann doch nicht das Letzte sein...

I only got through a couple of paragraphs before deciding I couldn't listen to it any longer. Had to give a star to review but the performance certainly doesn't deserve it.

I cannot describe the affection in which the earlier four audiobooks in this series are held in my family, they are regarded as the pinnacle of the author’s achievement, are quoted from regularly in all kinds of contexts and are just loved to bits. Why is this one read by an American? It has completely ruined the experience for us. The disappointment over the narration inserts itself in the listening and makes it a definite “miss” for me. PLEASE ask Mr Laurie nicely to come back and read this one too.
