itsholls 's review for:

Der Vorleser by Bernhard Schlink
3.0

I had to read this book for German A level as I certainly wouldn’t have chosen it otherwise. Despite the book being incredibly well written (i read it in German so haven’t read the English translation) and bringing up questioning philosophical debates between the readers, the book as a whole is uncomfortable. I would argue that’s it a good book to study in terms of essays, however I would not read for pleasure.
