This is more or less my impression too. I don't think it is a good work of fiction although I highly appreciate the occasional irony.

But I find it very interesting for all its non-fictional parts, for all the descriptions of the 19th century life in Germany, be them as small as what they ate or as important as the revolution of 1848.
