if any book really changed me it had to be "christiane f"
it's a true story, a pseudo-diary (transcript from conversations with a journalist) of a german girl living in berlin. it depicts the story of how she gets involved with drugs. it's starts with experimenting but it ends with a heroine addiction.
this book prevented me from ever getting into drugs, i experimented in my adolescence but i never crossed the line. the images from the book haunted me and were a big warning sign.
the book has a 'happy' ending with her escaping from the city and the drugs. so for me it really was a story showing there always is hope for salvation, redeption.
10 years later i found out, she made so much royalties on the book she is living a laidback life and hooked on heroine again.
the small ironies of life.
for the non-reading folks : they also made this into an acceptable movie (christiane f - dir: ulrich edel)
