Summary: Very funny for German natives
Review: If you already speak German, then this book is very funny. However, it is not something that a tourist should use. First of all, some of it does not even make sense, and second, some of it would be considered rude.

Summary: Funniest German Phrase Book Ever!
Review: This book is hilarious. If you have an offbeat sense of humour or a sense of humour at all you will roll. The phrases are so silly it will make you giggle just thinking about ever saying them. Great book for anyone who wants to know how to say more than textbook German.

Summary: Hilarious for the German speaker, educational for others!
Review: This book is well worth its very small price. The author knows his stuff and provides excellent insight into the German mindset (and some only-slightly-exaggerated German history) while brutally poking fun at it. I'd heartily recommend this book for any German speaker who has been to Germany for even the briefest of visits. It made me want to go back! Non-German speaking travelers could definitely profit from learning these key phrases.

Summary: Hilariously Awesome
Review: This book was totally cool!!! I absolutely loved the weirdness of the phrases and how they were all evidence of the German culture. If you love weird stuff and have a definite interest in Germany, you must definitely check this book out. Have fun laughing. I read it to my Austrian friend auf Deutsch and she laughed at the weirdness of what I was saying. Have fun!!!

Summary: funny study break for a student of German
Review: This is a hilarious book which mocks Germans, tourists and travel phrasebooks in general. All of these need/deserve to be mocked.
Of course, you would never want to use most of these phrases in actual conversation. For example, when you meet someone in the Black Forest, the book tells you to ask them, "Are you an evil dwarf?/ wolf in disguise?" Possibly not the best way to win friends and influence people.
But if you read through this you will actually learn (or at least practice) some German, and have a bit of fun (okay, a lot of fun).
A fun supplement to your German studies, or just for a good laugh.

Summary: For amusement, not for education.
Review: This is a hilarious book. Anyone who reads it will understand very quickly that it shouldn't be taken seriously. But if you are a German student looking to pick up German colloquial expressions or street German, this is definitely not what you want. It is a book of humor, not an educational text.

Summary: Interesting book.
Review: Wicked German is a small book that's quite interesting to read. The author did a pretty good job with it. Some of the phrases are really funny. I don't think that I'd actually ever want to use any of the phrases, though. I believe that anyone who's learning German will find this phrase book to be interesting, informative, and funny. I've learned quite a few things from it. Wicked German has travelers to Germany in mind. Some of the things that the book deals with are sightseeing, daily life, and getting around. I do think that the book should have covered more words and phrases, though. Wicked German is pretty good.
