About this product

Product Information

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER * Hailed for its coiled eroticism and the moral claims it makes upon the reader, this mesmerizing novel is a story of love and secrets, horror and compassion, unfolding against the haunted landscape of postwar Germany. "A formally beautiful, disturbing and finally morally devastating novel." -- Los Angeles Times When he falls ill on his way home from school, fifteen-year-old Michael Berg is rescued by Hanna, a woman twice his age. In time she becomes his lover--then she inexplicably disappears. When Michael next sees her, he is a young law student, and she is on trial for a hideous crime. As he watches her refuse to defend her innocence, Michael gradually realizes that Hanna may be guarding a secret she considers more shameful than murder.

    The Reader is perfectly named

    This book is about a boys first love / love experience. He goes through several years of life and realizes everything is compared / measured to his first love. It has historical value in helping this generation understand the civilian side and jewish holocaust side of the third riech.

I disliked ...

    The Reader

    I selected this book for reading because it had been an Oprah Book Club pick, and because it was a #1 National Bestseller. Within the first 25 pages of the book, the author made me laugh! A fifteen-year-old teen, covered in coal dust, in the presence of his soon-to-be mature lover made these people real. From that moment on, I accepted their relationship - odd as it was - as one with integrity and human need. Schlink kept me guessing. What were the secrets being guarded so fiercely by Hanna? The key to the answer was in the title, but I missed the clue until the book began drawing its curtains for its quiet ending. Make time for this book. Don't judge Hanna too harshly until you know the deep, black secrets her soul carries. I respected and loved Hanna in the end. I will not soon forget ...

    A great read

    I really enjoyed reading the book behind the movie. Of course it explained a lot of stuff the movie didn't explain. I recommend this book.
