   Is 'the reader' a good movie?

   • Certainly The Reader, for all its erotic scenes involving Kate Winslet, presents a difficult marketing challenge. The lively, nonlinear structure imposed by screenwriter David Hare and tight, focused direction from Stephen Daldry make this an engaging period drama.

   Who wrote the novel 'The Reader'?

   • Bernhard Schlink wrote the original novel 'The Reader', which was an international bestseller. He is a lawyer and judge who also writes fiction. In this novel, Schlink departed from his usual detective stories to create a meditation on Nazism and the denial of the surviving participants, as well as the incomprehension of Germans like Michael who were born in the aftermath.
