Changes

In Wilderness, John Lawton has created a believable central character, one that meets the conventions of a thriller but never lapses into stereotype. The action moves along at a decent lick and the portrayal of occupied post-war Berlin is thoroughly convincing. The supporting cast add plenty to the proceedings and the book is very well written. So what was it that made Then We Take Berlin ever so slightly disappointing? In short, the ending. Let's just say that there's plenty of scope for a follow up. That conclusion aside, Then We Take Berlin has plenty to offer. In addition to a sequel, I wouldn't be surprised to see a TV version appear in the not too distant future.
