Movie Review: The Reader

The Reader, directed by Stephen Daldry, is a highly acclaimed Oscar-nominated film based on a novel of the same name by German law professor and judge Bernhard Schlink. It recounts the story of Michael Berg, a German lawyer who as a teenager in the summer of 1958 had an affair with an older woman, Hanna Schmitz, who then disappeared only to resurface years later as one of the defendants in a war crimes trial stemming from her actions as a concentration camp guard towards the end of the World War II. Michael realizes that Hanna is keeping a secret she believes is worse than her Nazi past, a secret that may cost her at the trial. Find out more about a viewer’s opinion here.

Book Review: Life & Times of Michael K

Life & Times of Michael K, winner of the Booker Prize in 1983 and the Nobel Prize in Literature in the year 2003, is written by J.M. Coetzee. The novel is a story of hare lipped, simple gardener Michael K, who makes an arduous journey from civil war-ridden urban South Africa to his mother’s rural birthplace, during an imagined near-future within the apartheid era. Read what one reader has to say about the novel in his review.
