Teaser Tuesday - 23 Feb

Teaser Tuesday
The rules are:

• Grab your current read.
• Let the book fall open to a random page.
• Share with us two (2) 'teaser' sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
• You also need to share the title and author of the book that you’re getting your 'teaser' from .. that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you've given!

Emma Craigie's 'Chocolate Cake with Hitler' the story of the last few days of 12 year old Helga Goebbels life and her gradual realisation of the nightmare which was closing in. This is nearly un-putdownable for me - you know what's going to happen but like a car-crash you don't want to look away. At the moment it is strongly recommended - we shall see if I'm as positive after the second half of the book - my only reservation so far is the recurrence of events which should be amusing but in the context of Hitler's Berlin bunker really, really aren't. e.g.

I did a fantastic dying scene [acting out Snow White's death from poison]

I've only just spotted the Who's Who at the end of the book - very useful for keeping track of the various third reich personalities who flit in and out of Helga's dark vision.
