Review
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Decent read .By Jack StonerThe book kinda jumps around and it doesn't focus on any real timeline . Ms. Berber's story is interesting and it covers a time period in Germany that is often ignored . After WW1 and before Hitler takes power . It was like the wild west in terms of freedom of expression in Germany at that time . The book really left me wondering how her career would have turned out if she would have gotten off the drugs and focused on her career . I would guess she would have left Germany once Hitler come into power and I wonder if she had come to America how her career would have went . She obviously had talent but as we've seen so many time ; drugs and alcohol simply ended what ever chance of her having a long career . So we will never know what could have been . Decent book that I would recommend if the price stays low . There are much better books that cover the Weimar Republic and the entertainment industry during that time period . So I would only recommend this one if you are just interested in Ms Berbers story .0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. ChoppyBy FlamoThis is choppy and more like a scrap book.

FascinatingBy Ed's ViewFascinating inform rarely found; but I wanted more in almost every chaper than what was supplied. It sent me searching for more books on her and that period in time.
