How could I resist Laraine‘s engaging memoir being weaned on SNL & the original cast who started it all! This animated yet heartfelt narration by such a creative comedienne & voice artist was a gift in itself! Brought back many memories of wildly hilarious classic skits & top-caliber guest hosts back in the day. An honest, real, revealing trip to SNL‘s glory days.🙌🏻
P.S. My 6th and last June read and still no #BookSpinBingo 😆

TheAromaofBooks Sounds like a fun one! And I can't deal with how elusive bingos are! 😂 Like this should NOT be this hard!!! 2y
UwannaPublishme @TheAromaofBooks Right??? I thought it was me! 😂 2y
TheAromaofBooks I think my record is reading 17 books off my list and still not getting a bingo! How is that even possible!? 😆 2y
UwannaPublishme @TheAromaofBooks Now that kind of avoidance of a bingo takes great skill! 😂 2y

An extraordinarily important book so we do not forget those who died for freedom, and those who risked their lives to dig tunnels. The epilogue is disturbing: there is a growing nostalgia for east Germany, that it wasn‘t so bad. Americans showed practically no interest in the anniversary of the fall of the wall. And the book divulges the beginnings of our abhorrent government practice of surveilling citizens (ironic?) and controlling the press. ⬇️

Texreader Slow in the chapters about the way American media succumbed to intervention by the president to “stop the presses,” it took a long time and willpower to stick through lots of detail. But it pays off in the end about lessons learned. And don‘t skip the epilogue. #readingeurope2020 #germany 4y
Librarybelle Sounds good! 4y
Eggs Yes-current ‘nostalgia‘ toward E. Germany would be abhorrent to those who lived through this horror. That‘s akin to saying the Holocaust ‘wasn‘t that bad‘. Germany and Russia were terrorist totalitarians - 💔 Heartbreaking. Nice review 👏🏻👏🏻 4y
Suet624 Great review! 4y
Crazeedi @Texreader so very true, many have forgotten the horrors of socialist regimes, its sad this isn't taught to our children anymore 4y

Teenager Peter Fechter was shot and slowly bled to death trying to escape East Germany. The guards who shot him did not try to save him but waited till he died to retrieve the body. This was the eulogy at his funeral, summing up the communist state‘s explanation that no one was free to determine their own path. 😟

The conflict between East and West Germany and the Berlin Wall heightened fears of nuclear war. This excerpt from the tagged books note the poor attitude top officials had about protecting the world from nuclear war.
