It is <strong>best suited for people who have just begun learning German <\/strong>because of the highly repetitive material. In our opinion, the German title is superior to the original. Nimmersatt (\u00ab\u00a0never satisfied\u00a0\u00bb) is a great phrase to use next to a German friend who can&rsquo;t stop eating!<\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"post-61767-_k7w2278v03ex\"><\/a>Der Wunschpunsch<\/h3>\n<p>The full title of this book, \u00ab\u00a0Der satanarch\u00e4ol\u00fcgenialkoh\u00f6llische Wunschpunsch,\u00a0\u00bb contains the possibly <strong>longest adjective ever concocted<\/strong> in German.
