"Excellent. Böll tells the story of Germany from WWI to a present in the fifties through interwoven narratives involving the generations of one family. Although the underlying theme is the destruction forced on the people of Germany by the two wars, it is not a story of the war. Interesting that the library copy I read was the 1962 First Edition of the translation (usually means a limited readership)."

"I read this while working out in the gym. I liked the charcters. The story sheds light on life and thinking of other germans(non nazis)during and after war. I found it very intersting. But the book is more than that. I dont know how to explain it. But I enjoyed the book."
