Haven't read the 3 books before, because I found this for $1 in a NY bookstore. Story has too many names and too many people - very hard to keep track; frustrating when there's not much explanation of who the people are and what is their role; and difficult to understand if you should memorize one name or if it's just a one-time mention.
The book is touching and encircles you with the anxiety felt by Germans in 1933.
