Finished listening to The Reader by Bernhard Schlink . This doesn't happen very often, but I have to say I enjoyed the movie version better. The book wasn't bad by any means, and perhaps it is because I saw the movie first and then read the book (hate doing this), but it lacked so much of what the movie had. It just didn't paint the picture as wonderfully as the movie had. I still enjoyed it and it was a quick listen, only four discs, so I don't regret sticking with it, but I do feel a bit disappointed.
That said, the concept of this fiction book is pretty amazing. I can't imagine how the writer came up with this story and put it to paper. It is a well written book and I can easily see why it was picked up to become a movie.
