Zoo Station By David Downing. Review.


Zoo Station by David Downing is book 1 in the John Russell series .
The story is told in the run up to the war. It is 1939 and John Russell is in Berlin working as a news reporter for American and British papers. There are big changes happening there now and it is a worrying time for anyone who Hitler would disapprove off. John has a child and a girlfriend living there and I did feel sorry for them as he put himself in risky situations. I got a real sense of how tense it would have been living there at that time when war about to break out at any minute. John was a very brave character and you are rooting for him all the time. He is a good guy trying to make the best of a bad situation. The story flows steady throughout and finishes in a breath taking ending. Very satisfying! I would read more from this author after reading this book.
