A review by lar_iiious
Deutschstunde by Siegfried Lenz
2.0
This book is basically about a boy in a detention center who has to write an essay on the topic of "The joys of duty". At first he doesn't even know how to start but when he finally starts writing he can't stop and all the memories of his childhood (during Second World War) in Northern Germany pour out of him. His duty turns into a month long writing obsession and he does enjoy it. The duty, his piece of writing, becomes his life.
My duty was to read this book and I did (FINALLY - thank God!)succeed. But unfortunately, I didn't really experience the joys of duty. This book was pretty exhausting to read and I'm just happy that I'm done. But I have to say one thing: this isn't a bad book. I just couldn't really appreciate that.
