This was a new kind of read for me, apart from Between Shades of Grey I've never read anything based on any kind of war because it normally doesn't really appeal to me. This was quite a good read for the most part. The problem for me though is that it doesn't completely keep me utterly engrossed in the story the whole way through. I only started to get into it around half way through even if exciting things happened throughout. It just wasn't exciting enough. I did enjoy it when I got into the story though. It was exciting and it certainly got my heart pounding. What I loved most was that I know things that happened in the book (spies, kidnappings e.t.c) really happened to people in a time and place like that which made the book incredibly realistic. Also, I really felt for the characters. I felt their frustration from staying in a place they hated and being restricted from doing what they want to do. Alex likes to play guitar and listen to music that's not allowed, if anyone finds out then he is in huge trouble to the point of being detained. He has to choose a career he doesn't want to do, he has to stay in a place where everyone is the same in every way from what they wear to what they do and all Alex wants to be is different. I think everyone who reads this book will connect with the characters in some way or another and that's what gave me a good liking for the book disregarding how much I actually liked the plot. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Alex lives in East Berlin. The cold war is raging and he and his family are forbidden to leave. But the longer he stays the more danger he is in. Alex is no longer pretending to be a model East German, and the Stasi has noticed. They are watching him. Alex is told that further education will be blocked to him. His summer job is mysteriously cancelled, and friends begin avoiding him. His parents start to realise that leaving the East may be the only option left to them, but getting across the Wall is practically impossible. And even if Alex and his family make it to the other side, will they be able to escape the reach of the Stasi? This is a tense, page-turning thriller that builds towards a terrifying showdown as powerful forces from the East and West converge. One false move will change everything for Alex and his family, for ever. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

maatschappij dan pas je je aan, zoniet dan krijg je er geen
of… ze counteren je. Alex, zijn zus en DDR-modelouders
rest uiteindelijk geen keus, wanneer het de STASI menens
wordt. Het is blijven en je aanpassen aan
de wensen van het regime of je biezen pakken nu het nog kan
en de vrijheid kiezen in het Vrije Westen. Wat zou jij doen
moest jij Alex zijn ? En is kiezen ook niet veel verliezen ? Is het
allemaal zo goed in dat rijke Westen ? Bovendien moet Alex
en zijn familie vaststellen dat de schaduw van het verleden
moeilijk af te schudden is !
Dit boek van Paul Dowswell laat zich lezen als een
spannende spionageroman en is flitsend als een 3D-game. In de
onnavolgbare stijl van de auteur komt een verdwenen wereld tot
leven. Het gaat over vrije meningsuiting en hoe daarmee omgaan.
Het gaat over muren en ijzeren gordijnen die soms onzichtbaar
tussen ons hangen en hoe je jezelf kan zijn onder moeilijke om-
standigheden. Het is een boek waarbij je op het puntje van je
stoel gaat zitten. Een echte ‘historische thriller’ !
The PROOF of The BOOK is in The READING !! ( )
