"bought this in english because it was 1)cheaper and 2)actually available. it was strange and exciting to read it in another language though i must say i prefer the german translation! some things just don't sound all that right in english. e.g. i like how the german translators always keep some of the stuff in italian (like 'dottore' or 'si' or other random words), in the english translation everything is in english. it takes away some of humour, methinks."
"Unfortunately I didn't read this in Sicilian dialect but as August Heat in English.. I like Camilleri but his books are more like novellas than novels (cf Stieg Larsson) and I read this one in 2 - 3 days. They are a bit lightweight and the printing is well-spaced out."
"The 10th and latest in the Inspector Montalbano series...I was able to feel his pain as he was suffering through the scorching hot August heat in Sicily as we are here in Virginia! Thankfully, I did not stay in a beach house with a corpse or a hidden "illegally constructed" floor beneath me.
Montalbano is suffering about his age (55) and the heat, not knowing which to blame for the errors he has been making..."
"Read in English as "August Heat." It was good as all Camilleri's are. It did seem a little darker than I remember his others being. The food was a good as always."
