Let's start by saying this book is probably the best drug prevention tool ever. As much as it is a brutal read that doesn't save the reader from any of the gruesome details, I firmly believe it should be made a mandatory read in every school and that everyone should force themselves to read every single word. I was never told to read or even recommended this book, I only picked it up when I was planning a weekend in Berlin and thought I would choose something local for the flight. As you canDepressing but very insightful memoir. Not just about heroin addiction, it deals with what was going on in Christane's mind - which is not that much different than any self-aware teenager. She was incredibly self-possessed and brave throughout her struggles, which are heartbreaking. I was happy to find out that she's still alive. Still struggling with addiction, though.
What I learned from this book: How to shoot dope. Also: that 1) seeing David Bowie live; 2) in Berlin in the late 1970's; 3) while high on dope; is the ultimate trifecta and would have been my really, really awesome dream come true. In contrast, by the time I saw David Bowie live (and more than middle-aged), it was: 1) in the Midwestern United States; 2) while in college; 3) sober. So, so wrong. I read Christiane F. when I was 11- or 12-years old, I wanted to grow up and be like her. I thought
The most impressive book I've read before I was twenty years old. My parents made me read it whe I was 13 or 14 years old and it made a VERY deep impression on me. It is the story of an ordinary girl that ends up due to circumstances in a group of friends who smoke pot and are drinking. After a while of sticking to these two, she slips further and further down. Especially the nearly clinical description of her life and the things that happen has always stayed with me. Since then I've always been

The last time I read this book I was probably 15 years old and very much impressed by the protagonists story - and not to get me wrong: I was shocked by her experiences. Meanwhile, 15 years older I just had to reread this classic from my youth and was still moved by it. In my opinion, everyone should read it at least once!
''We Children from train station Zoo'' were children hooked on heroine in West Berlin during the 70s. They used to 'mingle' on the Zoo station to sell sex to buy heroine. This book is based on a true story of 14 years old Christine F., prostitute and a junkie. As kids, my friends and I were dealing this book like a drug. It was shocking and spectacular, as Christine didn't tell us (imitating Mr. Mackey from South Park): ''Don't use drugs, drugs are bad, mmm kay.'', but she really poured things
