Reader Reviews:
better than any history book! (0/0 people found this helpful)
This book is a very valuable approach to recent German history and is not only educational, but very entertaining and funny. Jana Hensel gives an insight into her life, representative for the one of many East German people of and around her age, thereby unfolding history into personal relations and experience, making it all the more credible and accessible. It is interesting for anyone; those who can relate to it because they experienced something similar, as well as those for whom this is an insight into a completely new and different world. I highly recommend it. If you want to know something about the GDR, don't skim through the history books, read this!
