Leaving Berlin by Joseph Kanon
4.0
A good book with strange twists and a bit outlandish ending
I enjoyed this book. It kept my attention from beginning to end in spite of it being difficult at times to keep track of who was who. First names, last names, foreign names, acronyms and what not. And I thought the relatively rapid evolution of the protagonist, Alex, from innocent to assertive spy was pretty far-fetched. But it's a fantasy after all, so why not?
