challenging dark emotional reflective medium-paced

4.5

Das Buch ist wirklich schonungslos ehrlich. Man fühlt mit allen Charakteren so mit, besonders da sie ja alle noch Kinder sind und man sich fragt, wie es ihnen heute geht und welche von ihnen den Schritt aus der Szene geschafft haben. Christianes Probleme mit der Sucht sind sehr eindrücklich beschrieben und man hat wirklich das Gefühl, sie im Verlaufe des Buches sehr gut kennenzulernen. Insgesamt ein sehr berührendes, aber auch runterziehendes Buch.

dark emotional informative sad tense medium-paced

4.0

Incredibly brutal, open, and (at least seemingly) honest depiction of the very dark reality of barely-teenage drug addicts. This one gave me nightmares. An important historical document that transformed the discourse in (West) Germany, has shaped a generation, and put the discussion about drug addiction front and center of German society.
