Can we just say, best title ever?!

I admit I was sceptical at first.


But that is the awesomest title ever.

Shall I translate?

"The head-over-heels-and-collar dramatically adventurous catastrophic expedition of Alex Morgenside"

Yep, fantastic title! Good luck with it... that should run fast over here!

Wow.
Just the sheer amount of letters in a row screams greatness.
Would you mind if I used that title too?

I'm floored by the sheer awesomeness of that title. I have never seen it's equal.

Wowza! That's quite a mouthful.

Also that's a really fantastic cover.

Very, very cool

I think German kids are just going to love rolling this over their tongues.

Well spank my ass and call me Charlie if that's not the mutt's nuts.

Great cover, toothpaste! The title? Well, let's just say I'm glad I speak English because I would never ever get all that out!

A big congratulations, how proud you must be...

That is truly the BEST title EVER! Well done. The cover art is amazing and I'm sure those German kids are gonna buy your book by the thousands. Whoo-hoo!!

Congratulations, Toothpaste; Canada goes international once again!!

Oh, wow. That is just... too cool for words, actually.

And I love the cover!

What a coincidence. That's the exact same title as my novel!

Oh. My. That is really something. Awesome! My tongue hurts.

Isn't it insane?! I just love it, and I love the cover too! Now I must learn how to actually pronounce it!!

Must you? Oh dear. My neighbour, Dieter, could probably help you with that. He's 6'7" of solid German.

Can I buy a vowel?

Pretty awesome, I must say. Luckily, one of my coworkers IS German, so I'll find out what this really sounds like this morning

Now I have two goals: to get published in the U.S. and to have the rights sold to Germany so that my someday-novel might end up with a title half as cool (or shall I say "kuhl"--where's that umlaut?) as yours.

Is that your comment on Toothpaste's title or is that your entry for best title ever?

AWESOME TOOTHPASTE!

That is absolutely the coolest! Love the title & the cover! Congratulations!

My first novel is out soon. Look out for the sequel, "Well shove my face in a blender if that's not the dog's bollocks."

And after that Well Shave Mah Legs and Call Me Puppy!

Okay, that cover is fekkin' brilliant. (And I thought that kid's book called The Amazing Thumbtack, Railroad, Dollhouse, and All-Around Surprise Book was a mouthful...)

OK, here we.go, German is pretty phonetic so it;s not as difficult as it looks. All you do is break it up into its separate words.

Die hals-über-kopf-und-kragen-dramatisch-abenteuerliche (this is the adjective) Katastrophenexpedition (this is the noun) der Alex Morningside

Die = dee ..... the
hals = hals ... neck
über - over (the umlaut changes the sound of the you; you have to purse your lips to say it)
kopf - head
und - and
kragen - collar
dramatisch - dramatic (the dr- sound is more precise than in english. You have to separate the d and r)
abenteurliche - adventurous (the -teur- ro ryhme with "lawyer"). "Ch" in "abenteurliche" is almost a hiss. You have to practice this!
Katastrophen - catastophic (the o as in no)
expedition - expedition. the last syllables are pronounced "-tzion"
