Anmeldelser
«A wonderful rediscovery, like a perfectly preserved time capsule, but also a terrific novel by any standards - human, suspenseful, shot through with hard-earned wisdom»
Lee Child
«Captivating, moving, unputdownable. . . One of the best Berlin novels, sitting alongside Hans Fallada's Alone in Berlin»
Jens Bisky, Süddeutsche Zeitung
«An unbelievable rediscovery, much like Hans Fallada's Alone in Berlin. . . Very few books recreate in such a way the nightmarish and intense hell that was the end of the Second World War»
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
«Magnificently vivid. . . Art has a habit of resurfacing, when it is worthwhile»
Budapest Times
«An epic work of documentary fiction. . . Its driving narrative and emotional heft keep us rapt. . . compelling and moving»
Herald Scotland
«Heinz Rein lived through the final fighting when Hitler, from his bunker, decreed that any German officer ordering a retreat was to be killed on the spot by his own men. Berlin Finale is of interest now chiefly as valuable testimony from one who was there. . . It has the kind of doom-laden splendour of one of John Martin's apocalyptic visions»
New Statesman
«Spellbinding . . . vividly conveys the devastation wrought on Berlin by Allied bombing raids and the terrible, almost sub-human existence endured by its surviving citizens»
Richard Hopton
