Book and Movie review


So the first book review is on THE READER BY BERNARD SCHLINK.


I persconally loved the book, it was a pretty fast read. The book was based in the post nazi germany era, where a 15 year old boy meets a 30 year old woman, and begins a relationship with her. Then she takes off and it goes into him going to law school. Without ruining the book for anyone else these are my reviews...... You find out later in the book why she acts the way she does to the boy in the early years. He ends up being apart of her life later in the book in a very unordinary way. Through out the boys life, nomatter what happens he cant take her off his mind, in a wierd way. Basically she changes his life in a drastic way which changes him as a person for the rest of his life.


Now for the movie THE READER DIRECTED BY STEPHEN DALDRY


Of course in my personally opion the book is better than the movie. But I always think the books are better than the movies becuase the books are so in detail. And of course in the movies they leave out parts because they have to make it a certain lenght long. But I do have to say it was good, and Kate Winslet played the role very amazing. And if you did not read the book and you just saw the movie you probably would like it. but the movie is a Drama and it is slow, but it tells the story better that way. but I do think the characters in the book match the movie characters quite well.


Alrighty everyone until the next review........
