I'm always a little leery of translated books, anyway -- because I don't know if I'm truly reading the authors work. Having someone read it who is fluent in both the original and the translated language would be of great interest to me. I'd love to hear a report of how well the English version fares compared to the original.

There are many books that I'd love to get this sort of insight into. I think a review site that specialized in comparing translations to the original would be a fantastic idea. Does anybody know if such a beast exists anywhere?
