A review by emmacb
The Reader by Bernhard Schlink

4.0

Really good read, and an excellent argument for reading the book before you watch a film as I saw the film years ago, so knew what was coming. Feels like I missed out on the surprise and emotion of that revelation!
Despite knowing the ending, this book kept me interested. I read it in one sitting on a flight. I feel like there is a lot more going on behind the scenes of this book and would love to read more analysis on it to understand better.
