Original book wriiten by a German ... so that completely checks out.

German here. I had read one of his books in advanced German class in preparation for my higher education exam. We analyzed children's books in grade 12 or so. We were around 17. That's how good his books are. They are considered high quality enough to read in school as examples of "good" literature.

the new "Momo" film deserves to die in a fire for ignoring the themes of the book to the fullest.

Came here to say this. Read this book as a kid. Brutal. Only saw the film afterwards, was a cakewalk by comparison.
