This is a heartbreaking and profoundly sad story of how power and the longing for attention impacted the life of a young orphan boy. The plot was a bit farfetched, given that Hitler hardly spent any time at Berghof, but it is an interesting for young people to read about how impressionable so many people were to Hitler's rhetoric and promises.
