Query: A chilling peek into East German life

It seems almost humorous now to think back to the Cold War days of a divided Germany, but not to the few who made it over the Wall alive.This was a great story of a young man who escaped East Germany over the Berlin Wall. The book is easy to read and gives great insight into the life of a young person growing up with freedom a stone's throw away. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a vision of East German life.
