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 An important historical document that transformed the discourse in (West) Germany, has shaped a generation, and put the discussion about drug addiction front and center of German society.

zorhose's review against another edition

dark emotional informative

4.0

I understand why this has become a classic and compulsory reading in some schools. It's unique to get such candid, first hand accounts of somebody struggling with addiction. Completely unglamorized and with a surprising amount of self reflection, Christiane F. recounts her story (and the story of so many others during the time). I can see how this can serve as a cautionary tale, especially since it is delivered without the same judgement that comes with most Anti-Drug PSA's. While, this book ends on a light note, we know Christiane's life was not exactly a happily ever after, which is unfortunately another reality of drug addicts. The story certainly is a tragedy. It's hard to watch how Christiane and others, fail Christiane over and over, in part through apathy, in part through misinformed actions while trying to help. Especially knowing that this by far isn't an exception, only perhaps, in that Christiane actually survives.
