The Reader by Bernhard Schlink


I got to chapter 7 past part 2 and stopped. I felt no connection to the book as it had many holes in the story. I simply couldn't finish. The main characters were rushed and the plot for me was disappointing. The beginning seemed to draw me in but then I had to force myself to get as far as I did. Disturbing turned into a bland, unsatisfying read. The main character Michael I couldn't care less for. Hanna went from being a 36yr old seducer of a teenager(Michael) to being on trial for Nazi war crimes.
