The Reader

multiple libraries & formats

Book club selection at CMSW. An Oprah pick. No one loved it. Many hated it.

First half = teenage boy in post-WWII Germany having passionate sex with an older woman.
Second half = he watches her trial for war crimes as a college law student.

Sad story. The point? I'm not sure. I missed discussion because of track.
