The Reader by Bernhard Schlink

I had heard so much about this movie that I decided if I wanted to watch it I had to read the book first, as I do with most movies based on books. I really didn't know what to expect, but I found myself really enjoying this book.

The Reader is the story of a young man, who as a teenager has an affair with a woman approximately twice his age. She later disappears, only to reappear in his life years later as a defendent on trial for her actions as a guard of a camp in Nazi Germany.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I really liked this book. I hope the movie is just as good.
