A review by justjoel
The Reader by Bernhard Schlink

1.0

The book was well-written, the translation clean, the language precise, but...

Spoiler

it begins with a 36-year-old fucking a 15-year-old, and I am angry that this never was fully addressed. I don't even care about Hanna's ultimate fate. This felt like the romanticization of a pedophile.

...definitely not for me.

1 out of 5 stars.
