Reviewed by FelixGanz nett. Kann man mal lesen aber bringt einen nicht sonderlich voran
Reviewed by ELetztens wieder in meinem Kindheits-Bücherregal gefunden. Wollte es unbedingt noch mal lesen. Die Geschichte ist nicht weniger krass als beim ersten Lesen. Ich habe mir zusätzlich den Wikipedia-Artikel über das tatsächliche Experiment durch gelesen und der hat mir nicht weniger Angst gemacht. Die Messages werden hier natürlich ziemlich runter gebrochen, es ist aber auch ein Buch für Kinder und Jugendliche. Der Dialog ist dennoch etwas anstrengend und manche Charaktere gingen mir auf die Nerven. War alles in allem nett, es noch mal zu lesen.
Reviewed by Jacqueline BauerDas Buch sollte man gelesen haben!
Reviewed by NeneThis book was given to me as a class reading and I just wanted to finish it after even reading what is was about. It's really interesting. I'm still so baffled that this whole thing happened in real life that little still shocks me to chor. I'm so hooked to it , I want to make a class presentation about the actual experiment. A really nice book.
