utracjuszka 's review for:

The Reader by Bernhard Schlink
3.25
challenging dark reflective sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I still don't agree with the ideas presented in the book but it did offer me a new perspective on the latest events in German history.
The story was well-crafted, too. The best parts of the book are probably the author's reflections on the nature of law.
