wanda_mol 's review for:

Leaving Berlin by Joseph Kanon

4.0

---

The book starts, for me, a bit confusingly - the beginning was quite hard to get through, just as we are beginning to meet the main character and understand his quite complicated situation the author has him "seeing" something that "would be" and its all woven through the beginning so that was not at all enjoyable for me. The book then slowly got better, and then somewhere between the halfway point maybe 2/3 through the book the pace just skyrocketed and it was all action. A good book, though I liked "The Prodigal Spy" better.
