We Children from Bahnhof Zoo

We Children from Bahnhof Zoo, by Christiane Felscherinow, is a ravishing biography

that is set in Berlin in 1978. This truly horrifying yet amazing book is based on the shocking life
of a girl who became a heroin addict at the age of fourteen.
The story begins when Christiane finds herself in the company of children with bad
habits. Through the plot, things get more serious as many of her friends die from overdoses. Due
to a combination of circumstances, Christiane becomes a prostitute to support her addiction, even
though she desperately wants to cure it.
With a rather chilling plot, this book has a lot of unpredictable twists. The character of
Christiane is shown as a vivid description of our society that reveals the essence of the problem
with narcotics among teenagers. The storyline is inspiring as it depicts the soul of a very young
girl with an outstandingly sad upbringing.
We Children from Bahnhof Zoo is a highly entertaining read. It will undoubtedly keep
you immersed from beginning to end. This is a book that can be read over and over again.
