I would still recommand to anyone who feels able to, to read the original in English. Simon Hattenstone did a great job in rendering the typical "cockney speak" of the main subject of the book! I couldn't see how any translator, how good he/she might be, could possibly pass this on ... After discussion with two german friends who read both the original and the translation I have my answer: it can't be done. The languages are too different and slang as well as dialects only add to the difficulties.

I read it in English as well but there are a lot of german fans who just don´t speak english at all or to a low standard. For them it´s of course better to read it in german than not read it at all. But it´s true, it´s hard to translate the cockney and other slang. You just don´t find the right words in german.

Deutsche Sprache, schwere Sprache

That's exactly what I wanted to say, nothing more and nothing less. The problem would be identical in French...

No problem in Romanian. We have good slang here. lol

Id be happy to see it published here , even if the translation wasnt accurate . But unlikely to happen.
