The Reader
by Bernhard Schlink, Carol Brown Janeway
by Bernhard Schlink, Carol Brown Janeway
I realised that my previous review contained lots of spoilers and very little opinions, so I deleted the whole thing, I may re-write another one, and I might not. However, for now the book has a very touching story, it's also well-written and philosophically interesting because it raises questions about: right and wrong, laws and ignorance. Definitely worth the reading!

“What is law? Is it what is on the books, or what is actually enacted and obeyed in a society? Or is law what must be enacted and obeyed, whether or not it is on the books, if things are to go right?”

“I'm not frightened. I'm not frightened of anything. The more I suffer, the more I love. Danger will only increase my love. It will sharpen it, forgive its vice. I will be the only angel you need. You will leave life even more beautiful than you entered it. Heaven will take you back and look at you and say: Only one thing can make a soul complete and that thing is love.”

I don't really think it was boring. Maybe the movie contains too many inappropriate scenes, but if you really think about it the movie is just prefect it deals with the Holocaust, justice, love and sin.
The book raise many questions you should give it a chance and read it ;)
Really? After all these spoilers you still want to read it? I was thinking to re-write this review couple of days ago seems like I'm not going to after you liked it :)It's a good short story. Hope you'll love it as much as I did.
