A review by freudss
The Reader by Bernhard Schlink

5.0

“I know that I found it beautiful. But I cannot recapture it's beauty.”
Bernhard Schlink, The Reader

Just finished this quick read and feel more connected with myself after doing so. “The Reader” was haunting, soulful and at times lighter than I anticipated. Schlink took the Holocaust, post WW-II German citizens and the world of academia into a place that left myself almost in awe of the complexity of a humans emotions.
