That link takes me to a swedish(?) review site reviewing The Doll Who Ate His Mother... which is the same title as shows on the side of the book on the shelves near me at the moment. Am I being stupid here? I can't see this alternative title?   John Forth (John) Username: John Registered: 05-2008 Posted From: 82.24.1.217 Posted on Saturday, February 25, 2012 - 04:12 pm:    I was assuming it was the 'Boekverslag' part, which sounds like something involving vomit and a woman of ill-repute.   Craig (Craig) Username: Craig Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 99.126.164.88 Posted on Saturday, February 25, 2012 - 04:34 pm:    Scroll down the page, you'll find it - it's in English....   Weber (Weber_gregston) Username: Weber_gregston Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 109.155.221.233 Posted on Saturday, February 25, 2012 - 05:01 pm:    Yes i found it - in the section titled "Alternatieve titel:" which I'm guessing translates as the title of this thread... Boekverslag, based on my school german and applying the principles to whichever germanic language this is, would appear to translate to book review.   John Forth (John) Username: John Registered: 05-2008 Posted From: 82.24.1.217 Posted on Saturday, February 25, 2012 - 07:07 pm:    It looks like Dutch. And, ah yes, I see it now. Other alternative titles, I guess, include: 'Cor, It's Dark in These Woods', 'What a Weird Dream' and 'I Knew I Should Have Left Those Silent Movies Alone'.   Carolinec (Carolinec) Username: Carolinec Registered: 06-2009 Posted From: 92.232.199.129 Posted on Saturday, February 25, 2012 - 07:07 pm:    It's Dutch. The "nl" in the url stands for Netherlands. Love that "alternative title"!   Carolinec (Carolinec) Username: Carolinec Registered: 06-2009 Posted From: 92.232.199.129 Posted on Saturday, February 25, 2012 - 07:08 pm:    Great minds think alike, John - at exactly the same time! Love your alternative titles too.   Hubert (Hubert) Username: Hubert Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 178.116.59.249 Posted on Sunday, February 26, 2012 - 11:19 am:    It IS Dutch. I could translate this, but seeing as it's full of factual error I'd rather not.
