Aufhocker
Ade had to choose between staying in East Berlin with his mother, or taking a position with Herr Schmidt, an old family friend, as an apprentice tailor in order to be able to support his family. Being the year 1965, he choose the latter, but of course he would jump the wall any chance got in order to see him other and sister. However, what if the opportunity was just a little too good to be true and Ade finds out the true reason he is wanted as an apprentice?

Brilliant writing.
Gorgeous cover.
Beautiful formatting.
Nearly flawless editing and proofing.
Well developed characters that I truly hope Hoots some day revisits this series and expands on some of the individual stories. As always with this series, I'm left very much wanting more. Will Ade go on to do what he's determined to do?
You'll want to read this though to find out what it is - and how it came to be. A really good read that introduces us to a brief look at Berlin in the 1960's. Dark times for many. It seems like a feast or famine situation and it's always enlightening to see how those in the famine side of things fare - with the hope and determination that they seem to find in what seems to be a hopeless situation.
Just as the reader is acquainted with the situation - volatile as it is - it escalates a bit and as things are explained even more drama comes into light. This was SUCH a fun read - I recommend it to everyone. It's quick - too short in the sense that it left me wanting more but - perfect for a fun, quick read.
5 out of 5 darkly entertaining stars.
