lockem18's review against another edition

Not for the faint of heart. Follows Christiane F who is a 14 year old girl living in Berlin, who begins a path culminating in heroin addiction. Heartbreaking story but no holds barred, the most realistic portrayal of the monotony of addiction that I have read

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 An important historical document that transformed the discourse in (West) Germany, has shaped a generation, and put the discussion about drug addiction front and center of German society.
