The Reader is a book created by Bernard Schlink and has been made into a movie. I had to read this book in grade 12 and I loved it. It is about a 15 year old boy who has an affair with an older woman and where there separate lives take them (not to give away the story). It is set in World War Two and is quiet sad, but a great story. The movie itself follows the book quiet closely and the images and places where made as I imagined them to be in the book. I would recommend you read the book and then watch the movie as I remember being left with questions in the book that were answered in the movie. The trailer for the movie is below...
