Its 'bout Berlin. Enough already!

You won't read about Berlin Betty. When your done reading you will know all about Berlin. The only thing is that it's hard to relate to reading the book b/c I've never been there before (I want to). I found myself refering to the maps which are extensive and detailed. Which were a big HELP. The book is well written and intresting. I would recommend this book to anyone. I've learned a lot about Berlin. One of my friends who use to live in Germany on AF Base. I was talking to him about what I read. Man, I know more about Berlin than he did, and I've never be there either. In your spare time get a PH.D on Berlin (just joking) ...
