The #book I read in July was "Der #Riese", from Stefan aus dem #Siepen.

It's the story of a man who grows to become the tallest man in his country.

Being relatively tall myself, various passages resonated with me and reminded me of my own thoughts during my growth spurt. Maybe this is why I felt the character, despite his extraordinary circumstances, portrayed very realistically. A well-written #Bildungsroman which, notwithstanding its sad theme, feels rather uplifting.
