Title: The Reader
Author: Bernhard Schlink
Rating: **** 1/2
Review: I found The Reader at a flea market in Taylorville. I bought it because I saw the trailer for the movie on Bookcrossing. I never expected to actually read the book, so I was excited to find it. I read the entire novel in four hours. It's a fast read, with characters that push the plot forward. When I started reading, I was curious how the sections would end and move forward to the next. As the story unfolds, the reader catches more and more glimpses of the larger picture. The ending was quaint. I was not disappointed. I'm looking forward to seeing how filmmakers show it.
