A Rememberance

This story resounded with me, as I remember when the wall went up. I'm a fan of Miller's writing. It's very innocent and straight forward. His characters are always likeable, and I do love to hate the ones that aren't. I understand that this book has been selling really well in Germany. It should be required reading in high schools, as the message is just as important today as yesterday.

Typos! Errors!

Many typos and grammatical errors. I thought I was reading a rough draft. But the author creates suspense throughout the novel in two of the characters. Shane there are language errors.
