Review of 'Honest Man' on 'Goodreads'

This book is truly magnificent. I will admit, it was very slow in the beginning and I am not sure I would have finished if not reading it as an audiobook. But after a while it really picks up and the characters are so lifelike. The book does a great job of painting a picture of teenagers in Berlin in the eighties and develops them with great care. The story has a few thriller like twists that leave you like "WAT?" but nothing artificial or distracting from the characters. In the end, I could not stop reading!

(mild spoiler up ahead)

If that last page does not leave you crying, you have a heart of stone!
