I got approximately to the middle, but I'm still wondering if I should have tried the original instead of buying a german translation (it's my mother language).

I got approximately to the middle, but I'm still wondering if I should have tried the original instead of buying a german translation (it's my mother language). Maybe all the enjoyable parts got lost in translation? The part where I gave up was a chapter written with such a heavy dialect that reading each sentence started getting a chore.
