Negative Positive
Title: Engaging.
Review: At age thirteen, Reissmann is liberated from the confinement behind the Berlin wall. This experience launches him on a steep trajectory for escape that has him on adventures that would make the hands of most hardy travellers begin to sweat. His succinct and poignant satire begins to unravel as he disappears further into the jungles of South America, and further into his own subconscious, ultimately emerging reconstructed, as someone quite different. His exotic and extreme experiences form a prism of destruction and creation through which we can all see our own lives. It's a compelling read and a universal story.
