Freya on the wall book review

Freya on the Wall to us was a big eye opener. The author, T. Degens, vividely describes everything that goes on in the book. We felt like we were walking right next to Freya throughout the book. When you read this book you feel like you are actually getting sucked into the story. On that note we would like to commend T. Degens for doing such an unbelievable good job. The ending took my breath away! When we all read it we could actually picture the Berlin Wall coming down. The one thing that we all didnt like was how T. Degens went from past to present almost every chapter. It confused us all and caught us off guard. Another thing T. Degens needs to talk about Freya's home and living conditions. All in All we liked this book very much. This book definately gave us a better understanding about a part of history. We would all like to recommend this book to anyone and we promise that you will enjoy it.

About Freya on the Wall

I thought that in the 1st few sections of this book it was a bit hard to understand. Then I realised that Freya was telling another person the story about her life before the falling of the Berlin Wall. My favorite parts are when Gran Dulla tells Freya and Winno about when she was a little girl.This book defenatly interests me and I will defenatly read more books by this author.
