'De voorlezer' heeft een ingetogenheid en een focus op lichamelijke gevoelens die me getroffen heeft.
Very original and well written. One of the more unusual books I’ve read
Great book...felt like I would understand more of the deeper points being made if I had read it with a group. A must read

I'd probably give this a 3.5... admittedly, it was difficult for me to get past the 15-year-old kid's relationship with this mid-thirties woman. How could she allow THAT to happen?! But, if you can, this book touches on some truly interesting issues. It's short, sweet, and to-the-point with a truly moving ending.
Definitely thought-provoking.

Reread in 2018 after originally reading it in probably in 2009 or 2010 after seeing the film. Loved it just as much as I did the first time.

Würde ich gerne wieder zum ersten Mal lesen!
I do not like books about child molestation and let's be real, a 15 year old being seduced by a 36 year old is rape. Even if the 15 year old thinks he loves her.
I also do not like reading books about WW2. So this book was definitely not for me. I only read it because my 9th grader had to read it for school (I am not thrilled about that but it is cool she could read it in the original German).
I was all set to give it 1 star but then the last half had some points worth thinking about.
But I definitely don't recommend it.
