I watched the movie going in blind and I was captivated by Christiane's story, though the movie does not really leave the ending clear, so when I found out it was based on a memoir I got it immediately. This book really made clear the struggles of a person addicted to heroin and the way that they wanted to quit but being unable to do so for so long. Christiane was a little annoying at times but I couldn't even begin imagining feeling the way that she did with her addiction. Definitely a must-read.

Memoir of Christiane F who was a 14 year old heroine addict in Berlin. It tells her story and how she and her friends ended up as prostitutes near Station Zoo. Crazy informative about drug use and does have a happy ending.

Eines der besten Bücher, die ich je gelesen habe. Das Gruselige ist, dass all das wirklich passiert ist. Die Zwischenschübe von Christianes Mutter zerreisen einem jedes Mal das Herz.
