Negative Positive
Title: Bland
Review: This book was a little run of the mill. The story sounded like it would be full of interesting stories about the people trying to escape from East Berlin but they never materialized. The description if his defection / escape is interesting yet the writing makes one have to work to get through the text. We learn of what it was like to live in East Germany and the changes that impressed him the most once he made it "over the wall". The book just did not hold my attention for long and I picked it up every now and then finally forcing myself to finish it because I had so much time in it.
Is the review positive or negative?
