 Interessante Gedanken zu der politisierten Jugend in den 30ern aus der Sicht eines kritischen Lehrers, der zunächst selbst aber wenig für Wahrheit und Gerechtigkeit tut.

+ Ergreifender Einblick in die Beeinflussung Jugendlicher vom NS-Regime
+ Intensive Auseinandersetzung mit der Frage nach Wahrheit und Wirklichkeit
+ Erschreckendes Bild der Fähigkeiten manipulierter Jugendlicher
+ Angenehm schnell zu lesen u.A. aufgrund der flüssigen Sprache
- Seltsam pädophile Gedanken des Lehrers
- Obsessive Verwendung des N-Wortes (historischer Kontext, Veröffentlichung des Romans im Jahr 1937)

Der Roman spielt während der NS Zeit und äußert gleichzeitig Gesellschaftskritik zu dem NS Regime als auch zu dem Glaubensverlust der Gesellschaft. 
Achtung: Im Buch wird oft das N-Wort verwendet.
