The reviewer initially purchased this book driven by a long-standing admiration for the author's previous work, specifically "Opperlandse taal- en Letterkunde." They describe the book as a "strange little book" and acknowledge the author's unique attempt at a particular linguistic exercise as "admirable." Its brevity is also noted, suggesting it might be easily added to a collection.

However, the primary criticism is that the columns comprising the book are deemed "virtually unreadable." The reviewer details the specific style, which involves the playful swapping of two letters within words and then associatively rambling through hundreds of words, as the core reason for its inaccessibility. It is also implied that these columns might have been included due to a contractual obligation rather than their intrinsic readability.

In conclusion, this book appears to be a highly experimental collection of linguistic columns, building on the author's distinctive style but pushing it to an extreme. While the effort behind the unique wordplay is recognized, the execution results in a challenging and largely inaccessible reading experience for this reviewer. It would likely appeal most to dedicated fans of the author's most abstract linguistic experiments and those who appreciate highly unconventional, almost unreadable, forms of literary wordplay. It serves more as a curiosity or a companion piece for collectors of the author's complete works than a widely enjoyable read.
