The Reader
by Bernhard Schlink
Interesting novel. The main character mentions during the course of the text that a particular book he had read was written from such a distance that it was difficult to become involved. I got the same feeling reading Bernhard Schlink's novel. It was written from such a distance that it was difficult to become invested in the characters, their relationships, and the events of the story. It was a good story and as such kept interested enough to see it through to the end. It was, in my opinion, a commentary on humanity and how one's actions can unknowingly (or maybe even knowingly)put into action a sequence of events that will return to continually mess with one's life far into the future.
