More than an outstanding spy story: a fascinating insight into how ordinary people are manipulated into taking immoral actions
By Trevor Cobb
“Leaving Berlin” is more than an outstanding spy story. It has excellent characters and a fast moving plot. It provides fascinating insights into how ordinary people can be (and were) manipulated into taking immoral actions through desperation, greed or self preservation (sometimes simply through their silence) and how they are able to live with the consequences. “Leaving Berlin” is not a judgmental novel and we are left wondering whether we would have acted any differently to those who have committed murder or betrayal. The novel is set mostly in the Russian sector of Berlin in 1949, before the Berlin Wall, during the Berlin Airlift. The Nazis have been destroyed only to be replaced by an equally ruthless and uncompromising communist elite. The main character, Alex Meier, is a half Jew who was helped to flee Germany before the war. Alex has fallen foul of the McCarthy Show trials and as a successful novelist is invited back to East Berlin by the authorities. But Alex has been recruited by the CIA and in order to earn his American citizenship is forced into a world of espionage. Alex re-establishes link with some of the people he had known before the war (Including his first love) and quickly becomes submerged in the intrigues of the new political order. The only criticism I have of “Leaving Berlin” is that explanatory sentences are sometimes sacrificed, in the interest of keeping the dialogue and plot moving, this is usually done effectively but occasionally I had to read back a paragraph or two to check my understanding. That said, this really is a novel well worth reading. Overall Assessment: 5/5 (Plot 5, Characterisation 5, Literary Merit 4, Readability 4.)

Tremendous
By Al
A really dark, intense, intelligent spy thriller, written in a tight, spare style.It paints a very credible picture of life in Berlin at the time of the Blockade, with all sides trying to recruit people as agents or double the other sides agents and with the Russians and their East German acolytes running rampant and creating a paranoid society in which everyone watches and informs on everyone else; this is contrasted with America during the McCarthy era....a paranoid society in which everyone watches and informs on everyone else.It raises and deals with a number of moral issues (loyalty, using people for one's own ends, murder, etc) without labouring any of them.A rewarding read.

Perplexing Writing Style
By lady blue
The plot of this novel is as complex, exciting and suspenseful as any spy novel could be.Berlin 1949, the war is over - or is it?German-Jewish novelist Alex Meier escaped to the US where he has spent the past 15 years. Enter the McCarthy era. Alex is at a crossroads. His refusal to cooperate means deportation. He somehow (not explained) is able to make a bargain with the CIA to return to his native Germany as their spy. In return he will be able to come back to the USA.As was the case with most everything in Germany at that time - nothing is as it seems, and you can't possibly know who to trust; not even old friends you left behind.It was the writing style that was so distracting to me which made it difficult to enjoy this story. It took well over 80+ pages to grasp what was happening. Even then, working out who was who was a challenge. Markus/Martin continually confounded me to the very end. The only one I was ever sure of was Alex.Most of the story is told in dialogue, a lot of it - abrupt speech, sentences left hanging, clipped, staccato...even the prose are written in this style (is there a name for it?). There are times when it isn't even clear who is speaking - you have to go back to figure it out.The story is an excellent one - I only wish I could have enjoyed the writing style more.
