Review: film leads to book - I saw the second part of the film "the reader" on television while doing some channel hopping and got stuck in the absorbing story. I decided to read the book in the original German, in stead of watching the beginning of the film (the part that I have missed) on the following day. I was also eager to know whether I would be able to understand the German text, as it is my third language and I have not used it for a long time. So I ordered the book from desertcart and it arrived a week or so later in perfect condition. (The outside box was, however, secured by the SA post office authorities, as it was found open and damaged. Fortunately the book was securely packaged inside the box.) I found the first part easy to read and could not put it down. I was fascinated by the boy's behaviour. I tried to understand Hannah's reasons for behaving the way she did. I enjoyed the part where they traveled by train for their holiday. It was such an impossible situation and yet the author made one believe it is perfectly normal. In the end I was sad for the way life often turns out. I also became quite interested in the philosophical undercurrent in this book - it adds to the value of the novel - not merely a simple story. (this part was more difficult to read, however.) It was a good experience to read the book. In fact, I do not think I want to see the first part of the film any more. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 3257229534 | | Best Sellers Rank | #754,385 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (5,542) | | Dimensions | 4.53 x 0.55 x 7.05 inches | | Edition | 6th | | ISBN-10 | 9783257229530 | | ISBN-13 | 978-3257229530 | | Item Weight | 6.4 ounces | | Language | German | | Part of series | STARK-Verlag - Interpretationen | | Print length | 206 pages | | Publication date | April 1, 2001 | | Publisher | Distribooks Inc | ## Images ![Der Vorleser - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71zQ03ZQa5L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book and Price *by J***N on February 25, 2026* It’s great book and I got used and its pretty much new. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ film leads to book *by A***E on September 11, 2010* I saw the second part of the film "the reader" on television while doing some channel hopping and got stuck in the absorbing story. I decided to read the book in the original German, in stead of watching the beginning of the film (the part that I have missed) on the following day.

The author has written the book in mainly the first person, like a memoir, so there is very little actual dialogue between the characters. I find this aspect rather apealling. The author takes the reader on a journey with the 15 year old Michael Berg & his 36 year old lover, Hanna. One day Hanna disappears and Michael has to wrestle with the question of "why?". He goes on to become a law student & unexpectedly discovers that Hanna is now on trial for a Nazi war crime. What happens after that is a series of unanswerable questions that Michael has to deal with and he doesn't seem to get any satisfaction one way or the other. The ending is both bittersweet and sad. The German version of this book is not extremely difficult to understand, but German students will probably want a dictionary just in case. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/40697769-der-vorleser](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/40697769-der-vorleser) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
