Finished in less than two hours, this collection of letters to Franz's family members was quite an interesting read.
From here, you get to see a different side to him. In his letters to his lovers, he was flirty--and at times, cocky--to try to woo them. In his letter to his father, he was angry, hurt, and dejected. In his diaries, he was thoughtful and most times, miserable.
But in this book, he showed a different façade, particularly when speaking to his parents. He was more polite, courteous, and somewhat superficial. He didn't really reveal himself, mostly because he didn't want his mother to be upset.
In his letters to his sister, he was kinder and softer. It was cute to see him worry about his shy but rebellious sister. The way he kept asking if she was doing well, how he had little money but he was willing to give some (or most) to his sister, and how he helped her look for jobs. His brotherly side was adorable to witness.
However, I was quite bored throughout most of the book. There weren't much to read about, but I enjoyed the touching moments and the pictures/postcards/ snippets of his handwritten letters.
