The Reader by Bernhard Schlink
4.0

Sad. What a waste of a life was what ran through my mind. I actually found the trial scenes in the film version more compelling but it's a very well-written, taut book, no words wasted. It's not often you read a post-WW2 book written in/ set in Germany and dredges up questions.
