It's been a while since I read it so I can't remember the details....

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

For convention purposes...

Yet another book that slipped from the convention pile to the FutureCat pile :-)

I really struggled with this book. While it was a fascinating (and moving) story, the writing style was rather dense and opaque, which (for me, anyway), muted the effect of the intense emotions of the characters. And the sudden change of narrative focus from Jakob to Ben didn't work for me at all.

Or maybe I just wasn't in the right mood for it.

As an added bonus, if you have found this book before February 22 and join BookCrossing, you can enter our The Reader movie contest. Simply attend a screening of The Reader and save your ticket stub. Print your screen name on the back of the stub and send it to BookCrossing: The Reader Contest at 323 Pine Street, Sandpoint, ID 83864, USA. We will hold a drawing shortly after February 22, 2009 to determine the winners and you will be notified by email if you have won. One more reason to sign up for BookCrossing today!

We found it ona park bench while we were walking with my husband's grandparents. We both plan to read it and then pass it on!
