Berlin Book One: City of Stones by Jason Lutes

4.0

This story had so many things I love: Germany, and Berlin especially, history, the 1920s, politics. It should not be surprising I really liked this. The story was slightly difficult to get into in the beginning with so many characters and with so much going on, but once you figured out who is who, the story became easy to follow. And while it's easy to think things were straightforward 100 years ago, they really weren't. I especially liked the political part, how things developed, as we all obviously know where it leads to. It was done very well and you could keep up even if German history isn't your forte. The black and white drawing style worked nicely, there were enough details to keep your eyes busy, but not enough to be confused by it all. I already have the second part waiting to be read and I cannot wait.
